After an exciting revenge game against the Chicago Blackhawks and Canadian Olympic hopeful Connor Bedard, the Anaheim Ducks faced off against Canadian Olympic legend, Sidney Crosby. Even though the Ducks won against the Penguins by a final score of 4-3, a more important set on numbers is on the horizon; 31.
December 31st is the date that rosters for the upcoming Winter Olympics must be finalized. Sidney Crosby has already been named to Team Canda. If Russia was allowed to compete, Evgeni Malkin would have been named as well. There's still time for Erik Karlsson to make the cut for Team Sweden, even though he is no longer the offensive ace from the blue line he used to be.
