The Edmonton Oilers have returned to practice after their 10-day layoff and superstar Leon Draisaitl spoke about Connor McDavid's linemates and finding chemistry to play at McDavid's level at the 4 Nations Faceoff.
During that post practice scrum, Draisaitl explained that Connor McDavid plays hockey at a different level compared to anyone else in the world and sometimes line mates may find it difficult to play the way McDavid does.
Mitch Marner one player demoted from McDavid's line
He noticed that lines early in the tournament may not have worked as well but during the Finland game some chemistry was found with McDavid.
This struggle was apparent especially in game one when Toronto Maple Leafs winger Mitch Marner was seen on the bench arguing and pleading his case to McDavid as the line was trying to find some common ground.
Both Sam Reinhart and Marner were removed from his line and replaced with Sidney Crosby and Mark Stone.
McDavid ready to for 4 Nations Finals against Team USA
The focus now shifts to the Four Nations final where McDavid and the rest of Team Canada are preparing for one of the most exciting games to be played in recent memory.
Fans across the league and North America are salivating to see what kind of game the two countries have in store as the round Robin game set the tone for a fantastic yet hostile game ahead.
It will be a fascinating battle as both teams have suffered some injuries which will impact the performance.
The game may come down to the slightest mistake whether it's goaltending letting in a poor goal or a penalty that results in a power play goal that could be the difference between taking home the crown or going home empty handed.
