Team Canada may have Sidney Crosby in their lineup, but it's possible he's still recovering from an upper-body injury.

Crosby’s three assists included the overtime helper to Mitch Marner, which secured the win. Canada has now won its last 26 games with Crosby in the lineup, a streak that dates back 15 years. “It’s no coincidence, his record when he’s wearing a Canadian jersey,” said head coach Jon Cooper postgame.

After missing Pittsburgh's final two games before the NHL break for the 4 Nations Face-Off, Sidney Crosby took part in Canada's first practice Monday and declared himself good to go.

McDavid did play in the 2016 World Cup of Hockey, but on an under-23 North American squad rather than for Team Canada. He captained a high-flying collection of the game’s preeminent talents like Nathan MacKinnon, Auston Matthews, Jack Eichel and the late Johnny Gaudreau.

TSN’s Darren Dreger first reported Crosby’s travel plans, while ESPN later confirmed that the Penguins captain is “desperate to play” in the tournament despite an upper-body injury that has sidelined him for Pittsburgh’s last two NHL games before the break.

Pittsburgh Penguins star and Team Canada captain Sidney Crosby assuaged concerns that he would miss the beginning of the new 4 Nations Face-Off, saying he will play Wednesday against Sweden. Crosby hurt his left arm last week and sat out Pittsburgh's final two games before the NHL's break for the four-team international tournament.

Following the 4-3 overtime loss against Canada, Sweden star Adrian Kempe dropped a strong message, warning Sidney Crosby, Connor McDavid, and the rest of the Canadian's team.
