Rosters for the upcoming Four Nations Face-Off tournament between Canada, the United States, Finland, and Sweden are set to be revealed this week and there should be plenty of Oilers involved.

Canada will be the team to watch for Oilers fans. Connor McDavid was one of the initial six named to the team back in June. He will join Sidney Crosby, Nathan MacKinnon, Brad Marchand, Braydon Point, and Cale Makar as the other players who have already been named.

Yet, there is also a good chance that two of his Oilers teammates will be able to crack Canada’s roster, as well as another that he will most likely have to play against.

Here are all four Oilers players who have a good chance of being named to a Four Nations roster this weekend:

1. Connor McDavid

Of course, this one goes without saying, with McDavid being the de-facto leader for Team Canada, whether or not he gets the captaincy.

This will be the first time that McDavid has represented Canada since he entered the NHL back in 2015. It’s been something that hockey fans have been clamouring for over the past decade and now we will finally see hockey’s best player lace them up alongside Crosby for the very first time.

The last time McDavid pulled on the maple leaf was during the 2015 World Juniors, when he scored three goals and 11 points in seven games.

2. Zach Hyman

A slow start to the season may have made Zach Hyman’s involvement with Team Canada a little less obvious than expected, but there is a good chance he still makes the cut.

The 32-year-old is coming off a 54-goal season last season and managed an additional 16 during Edmonton’s run to the Stanley Cup Final. The goals have been a bit harder to come by, but there is no question that Team Canada’s brass will be taking last season’s results into consideration.

He also has the good fortune of having the most experience playing on McDavid’s wing over the past couple of seasons, making him the perfect candidate to take over the Chris Kunitz role that Canada employed with Crosby in the 2010s.

3. Mattias Ekholm

While Oilers fans have their eye on Team Canada’s roster, they should also spend some time getting to know the opposition. Mattias Ekholm will almost certainly lace them up for Team Sweden at the tournament, possibly in a top-four role.

Ekholm possesses a stellar two-way game that sees him succeed at both ends of the ice, which puts him in the conversation of being one of the NHL’s very best defenders. He will have solid competition on the left side with Victor Hedman and Gustav Forsling, but he should absolutely be on the roster.

4. Evan Bouchard

Similar to Hyman, Evan Bouchard’s early-season struggles have put a bit of a damper on his potential Team Canada addition, but he should still have a great shot.

Again, the focus will probably be on Bouchard’s track record over the past few seasons. He’s projected to get over 50 points again this season, but he is coming off a stellar 82-point season last year and has torched the Stanley Cup Playoffs for two straight seasons.

He has a mindboggling 49 points in 37 playoff games since 2022-23. Bouchard has proven to step up when the games matter most, and Canada’s brass will be aware of that.
