Their Saturday encounter saw three fights break out within the opening 10 seconds, both sides clearly revved-up by events off the field — indeed, Donald Trump has spoken to the U.S. team ahead of the puck drop — before Connor McDavid broke the deadlock in spectacular fashion.

Recognizing Canada's free-flowing edge, Mike Sullivan instructed his men to play physical, a tactical tweak that paid off handsomely. The U.S. ran out 3-1 winners, courtesy of a Jake Guentzel brace either side of a Dylan Larkin goal.

Canada had no answer for Matthew and Brady Tkachuk at the weekend, but the return of Cale Makar should have a huge impact in the Championship game. When Sidney Crosby pulls on that Canada jersey he always delivers, and a raucous TD Garden should provide all the incentive he needs tonight.
