MONTREAL—Nathan MacKinnon scored on the power play 56 seconds in off a no-look pass from Sidney Crosby, Mitch Marner got the overtime winner after Sweden rallied to tie it and Canada opened the 4 Nations Face-Off with a thrilling 4–3 victory on Wednesday night.
Marner scored at 6:06 of the 3-on-3 OT to help Canada escape without a loss that could prove decisive in such a short tournament. Instead, a sellout crowd of 21,105 got to celebrate the return of elite international competition with the NHL’s best players.
