His performance in that first game would suggest he was close to 100% in terms of health.
His performance in the games vs the US would suggest he can't keep up anymore against the top players in the world.
If he's on next year's Olympic team, I worry it'll be like Sakic in 2006, where he was good against Italy and Germany, but all zeroes after that.

It's not uncommon for an injured guy to play a great game, and then the injury catches up.
