McDavid line remains intact as Team Canada coach Jon Cooper searches for chemistry

Connor McDavid has very little experience playing with any other player on the team, nor they with him.

The lone Edmonton Oiler to make the team will continue to play between Mitch Marner and Sam Reinhart .

McDavid had an effective first game, buzzing around the offensive zone on the forecheck and taking the puck hard to the net a couple of times, but the line as a whole didn’t really click.

The most important function of the one -off 4 Nations Face-Off may well prove to be team-building in preparation for next year ’s much bigger prize.

There will be plenty of overlap between the two rosters, and their prior experience together will be relatively recent rather than in the distant past.

At times I got the impression they didn’t even know where to find him.
