Team Canada got off to a strong start at the Pyeongchang Olympics, posting a 5-1 win over Switzerland on Thursday.

Former NHL players Rene Bourque and Wojtek Wolski each scored twice in the victory for Canada, and Derek Roy recorded three assists.

While Americans Brian Gionta and James Wisniewski have reportedly drawn interest for NHL returns, TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger doesn’t expect any Canadians to make the leap.

“There could be opportunities. I look at the American side and I know that Brian Gionta had some NHL interest prior to going over to South Korea and if he has a good tournament for the Team USA, who knows? Maybe there’s a spot for him back in the NHL,” Dreger told TSN Radio Edmonton 1260 on Thursday.

“From an insider’s perspective, those storylines are there. They’re a little bit far-fetched. When I look at Team Canada for an example, I don’t really see it, but you never know.”

Gionta, a veteran of 1,006 NHL games, stayed in shape for the Olympics by skating with the AHL’s Rochester Americans. Gionta appeared in one game for Rochester before leaving for Pyeongchang, scoring a goal. He has no points through two games with the 1-0-1 American team. 

Gionta garnered interest as a free agent in the off-season, but did not want to relocate his family from Western New York. His agent Steve Bartlett told TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun he suggested Gionta go to the Olympics and then try to sign for a playoff run.

“I said maybe you could get a playoff run with a team, and a couple of months away from the family is better than all year,” Bartlett told LeBrun in an interview with the Athletic. “He liked that idea. So it’s been in the back of our mind as he prepared for the Olympics. I’ve had discussions with 3-4 (NHL) teams, and we’re kind of focusing in on one right now that I think is the front-runner. Assuming that those talks continue to move forward, I think he’ll have a landing spot when all is said and done. We’re optimistic. I’ll continue to have discussions with interested teams, but right now our list is getting pretty short as far as what we think is a good fit for him and vice-versa.”

Wisniewski has been out of the NHL since being bought out by the Carolina Hurricanes in 2016. He’s suffered four torn ACLs in his playing career, but told the Associated Press before the games he’d happily return to the league.

"If somebody wanted me, I'm ready to go," said Wisniewski, who has no points through two games. "Hopefully, I can come out here and have a great Olympics. It's not like I'm going to be expensive. You don't have to give up future considerations. I've played in the highest level for over a decade and now playing in the Olympics, so it's not like I haven't been playing good, competitive hockey."

Nashville Predators first-round pick Eeli Tolvanen scored two goals for Finland on Friday and the team has openly discussed bringing him over after the KHL season ends.

The Olympic tournament is set to wrap up on Feb. 25 with the gold-medal game. For any player to be playoff eligible, they must be on a roster on Feb. 26 by 3 p.m. ET.
