USA Aims to Build On Dominant Start
The United States got off to a dream start in this year’s 4 Nations Face-Off. They beat underdogs Finland 6-1, scoring four unanswered goals in the third period to blow open what was a 2-1 game going into the final 20 minutes of play. In that final period, Matthew and Brady Tkachuk combined for three goals. Here, the US will look to build on that strong finish by beating the only country expected to contend with them for the top spot.
Of course, the blowout win for the United States in their opener should be taken with a grain of salt going into a matchup with Canada. Finland was a huge longshot to win this tournament going into it and they were not expected to trouble the United States in that game. In this contest, we should see a much better test for the United States and that should give us a much better idea of where they are at as a team.
Canada Looks For 2-0 Start After Close Call
Canada got a win in their tournament opener against Sweden, but it wasn’t easy. The Canadians needed overtime to beat the Swedes, winning 4-3 thanks to a game-winning goal from Mitch Marner in the extra period. Sidney Crosby had three assists in the game for Team Canada, who will look to improve to 2-0 in this USA vs Canada clash.
For Canada, we know that the attacking prowess is there, as seeing Crosby and Connor McDavid on the ice together is scary stuff for opposing defenses. But defense and goaltending were always the question mark for this Canada team and those issues nearly cost them against Sweden. It will be very interesting to see how Canada performs on that end of the ice in this game against the toughest team they will face in this tournament.
