ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Ryan Kesler didn't take long to send the message to the Edmonton Oilers' top line of Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and Patrick Maroon that he was going to make the second-round series with his Anaheim Ducksinto a house of pain.

It's been 12 long years since NHL players last played at the Olympics, and there was clearly a burning desire to represent their countries.

Oilers, Sharks and Canadiens players are dominating at the Olympics, while some players on Team USA and Team Czechia are struggling.

Five points on eight goals.

Both Oilers stars started their Olympics with a win, with Josh Samanski also playing a huge role for Germany alongside Draisaitl.
