Auston Matthews hasn't won much in his professional career and neither has Mitch Marner .

The great Connor McDavid has yet to win the Stanley Cup with the Edmonton Oilers .

McDavid 's record in Game 7s is just 2-1.

This is the chance to establish a favourite one year in advance, but Matthews isn't one of those players.

There are 19 Stanley Cup rings spread among the 23 players on Team Canada .

There are just three on Team USAJack Eichel from Vegas , Jake Guentzel from Pittsburgh and Matthew Tkachuk from last season's Florida Panthers .

The stakes in hockey forever change when you’re wearing your country’s colours.

This matters today , tomorrow and, for some players, for the rest of their lives.
