Team Canada<\/p>\n
Tom Wilson and Logan Thompson will be making their debuts for Team Canada in the Winter Olympics. Even more exciting, Wilson was placed on the top line alongside Macklin Celebrini and Connor McDavid. Thompson will share goaltending duties with Jordan Binnington and former Capital Darcy Kuemper.<\/p>\n
Team Slovakia<\/p>\n
Fehervary will represent his native Slovakia in the Men\u2019s Hockey Tournament. The Bratislava native just became a dad shortly before the Olympic break. Fehervary has emerged as one of the NHL\u2019s most underrated defensemen. He has also worked his way back after spending last offseason recovering from meniscus surgery.<\/p>\n
