The inaugural 4 Nations Face-Off concludes tonight at TD Garden in Boston with the United States hosting Canada.
Both teams won twice and lost once in the round robin portion which saw the Americans defeat the Canadians 3-1 on Saturday at Bell Centre in Montreal.
Five Florida Panthers players (Aleksander Barkov, Anton Lundell, Eetu Luostarnine, Niko Mikkola and Gustav Forsling) are back in Sunrise, while forwards Matthew Tkachuk, Sam Reinhart and Sam Bennett will take part in the final.
Tkachuk scored twice and added an assist in the two games he played. He is expected to be back in the lineup tonight after missing the game against Sweden. Reinhart suited up in all three of Canada’s games and has produced three assists. After sitting out the opener against Sweden, Bennett has appeared in the last two games and been effective, totaling three shots and eight hits.
