The World Cup of Hockey officially begins on September 17, and four Edmonton Oilers players will be participating in the tournament in the coming week.
We profiled and predicted how Connor McDavid, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Leon Draisaitl would do, and now we finish off with Andrej Sekera.
Sekera joins Draisaitl on Team Europe and is the only Edmonton Oilers defenseman in the tournament. The 30-year-old may be a veteran in the NHL, but when it comes to the World Cup of Hockey, he is one of the youngest defensemen on Team Europe.
In the two pre-tournament games against North America, he was paired with 38-year-old blueliner Mark Streit and 39-year-old Zdeno Chara.
