It’s the Americans against the Canadians with an international hockey championship on the line.
The NHL 4 Nations Face-Off final features a highly anticipated rematch between Team USA and Canada.
The first meeting between the two nations on Saturday in Montreal saw early fireworks with three fights in the opening nine seconds. Connor McDavid put Canada in front minutes after the bouts, but the United States wouldn’t trail for long. Jake Guentzel lit the lamp twice, Dylan Larkin tallied the go-ahead score and Connor Hellebuyck made 25 saves as Team USA secured a 3-1 victory in front of a raucous Canadian crowd.
The United States and Canada qualified for the championship game by each going 2-1 in round robin play, finishing ahead of Finland and Sweden in the standings. Now, they’ll battle for the first best-on-best international championship awarded since 2016.
Canada has dominated best-on-best tournaments, winning the last three and nine of 13 all time, per NHL.com. The U.S., meanwhile, beat Canada in the 1996 World Cup of Hockey for its first and only best-on-best championship.
