-Canada will have a very competitive team for competition. In addition to Crosby, Macklin Celebrini, Ryan O’Reilly, Travis Konecny or Noah Dobson agreed to represent the country.
It will therefore be the second time this year that the Pittsburgh Penguins captain will represent Canada in an international competition. He had done it this winter, during the confrontation of the 4 nations, raising five points in four games to lead his own to the gold medal.
For a third consecutive season, the Penguins have missed the playoffs. Despite everything, the 37 -year -old athlete experienced a hellish campaign, presenting a 33 -goals harvest and 58 assistants for 91 points in 80 games.
