MONTREAL (AP) — Brady and Matthew Tkachuk came out hitting, started scoring and put together a display of brotherly dominance playing together for the first time on a big stage.
The Tkachuks each scored twice, flourishing after being put on the ice at the same time, and the United States beat Finland 6-1 on Thursday night night in each team’s opening game at the 4 Nations Face-Off, a physical showdown played with edge throughout.
“That’s the way we play, one of the reasons why we’re on the team,” said Matthew Tkachuk, a reigning Stanley Cup champion who finished with three points.
