Canada’s Power Play Opens 4 Nations Faceoff With A Bang

MONTREAL (AP) — Canada’s absurdly talented power play did not take long to make a difference at the 4 Nations Face-Off. With Sweden’s William Nylander in the penalty box for high-sticking, Connor McDavid got the puck to Sidney Crosby, who found Nathan MacKinnon wide-open with a no look pass for the first goal of the tournament just 12 seconds into the power play. Coach Jon Cooper put all of his top NHL regular-season and playoff MVPs and Stanley Cup champions together with a unit of McDavid, Crosby, MacKinnon, Cale Makar and Sam Reinhart. This is the first time McDavid, Crosby and MacKinnon are on the same Canada team in international play.
