Team USA takes on Finland in the 4-Nations Face-Off
Tonight, the 4-Nations Face-Off continues with Team USA and Finland squaring off at 8:00 p.m. at the Bell Centre.
Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Zach Werenski is preparing to play a huge role for Team USA following Quinn Hughes' withdrawal from the tournament.
Werenski will be paired with Boston Bruins' Charlie McAvoy, who will likely be the team's top pairing, logging the biggest minutes.
New York Rangers' Adam Fox is quarterbacking the team's top power-play unit, with Werenski leading the second unit.
The USA and Canada are the two co-favorites in the 4-Nations tournament. While Canada may have the better odds on the betting lines, the USA boasts a stronger goalie trio, which will make them tough to beat.
Werenski met with Jeff Svoboda of NHL.com and delivered an all-time quote:
“I feel like when you put that jersey on, you always feel like you have a chance to win.”
This shows that Team USA is heading into its first game against Finland with a ton of confidence.
It should be a great game to watch—if last night's Canada-Sweden matchup was any indication.
