The NHL 4 Nations Face-Off is a brand new initiative for 2025, replacing the All-Star game and offering teams and players a chance to test things out ahead of the Winter Olympics, since NHL players have missed the last two Winter Games.
After Canada beat Sweden in the opening game, all eyes will be on the United States vs Finland tonight, with Team USA hoping to start with a win as favorites of the tournament. Canada are favorites too, though, and only overcame Sweden by one goal in overtime, so the US shouldn't expect to just walkover Finland who could be dark horses.
Leading Team USA's attack will be Brad Marchand of the Toronto Maple Leafs and Matthew Tkachuk of the Florida Panthers. For Finland, they'll be hoping Artturi Lehkonen (Colorado Avalanche) can deliver some more of his danger shots, and keep an eye on Mikko Rantanen of the Carolina Hurricanes too.
See the full tournament rosters below, and we'll update with team news when the line-ups are out.
