The Canadiens’ winger is their only NHLer, while Draisaitl is joined by Tim Stutzle, Moritz Seider, JJ Peterka, Lukas Reichel, Josh Samanski, Nico Sturm, and Philipp Grubauer on Team Germany. However, the Germans won only one of their preliminary-round games, a 3-1 victory over Denmark. They lost 5-1 to the Americans and 4-3 to Latvia, but they still finished second in Group C, while France finished last in Group A. Texier played all three games but was held off the scoresheet each time.
