According to reports, the Canadiens' captain has decided to decline the offer and rest. Nick has never missed a game since the start of his career, which is five years. He certainly deserves a break.
What is even more surprising is that Sidney Crosby is expected to join the team. It seems that, for a very rare occasion, a veteran player will be present.
We know the American team is expected to be dominant. Canada would greatly benefit from Crosby's presence to hope to win.
We will have confirmation soon. For now, we do not know if Samuel Montembeault will be the starting goaltender.
