Tonight the United States and Canada met for the championship of the 4 Nations Face-Off, in a rematch of an epic American win on Saturday night. The US was without injured defenseman Charlie McAvoy, but injured forwards Auston Matthews and Matthew and Brady Tkachuk returned. Kyle Connor was scratched so Chris Kreider could remain in the lineup. On the Canadian side, Cale Makar (who missed the first meeting) was in, and Thomas Harley subbed in for the ill Josh Morrisey.
During the pregame introductions, the teams were represented by honorary captains Wayne Gretzky and Mike Eruzione. The latter wore a Johnny Gaudreau Team USA jersey.
