McDavid, who also set the record for most points in a single Olympics with NHL players involved, once again was brilliant. McDavid assumed the captain’s ‘C’ and was a monster carrying the puck and creating scoring chances all night. Canada did bank on having most of its roster from the 4 Nations Face-Off last year return for this Italian campaign. It allowed Rantanen to absolutely wire the puck right off the draw over Binnington’s shoulder for the opening goal.
