Welcome to the Boston portion of the 4 Nations Face-Off. After opening the tournament in Montreal, all four teams hopped on a plane and matriculated to Boston to finish off the inaugural “best-on-best” tournament. Today’s games will finish off the group-play stage of the tournament and set the match-ups for the finals. With regulation wins in their first two games, Team USA has clinched a spot in the final regardless of how they do against Team Sweden tonight. Everything else is up in the air.
Having every team still in contention is exactly what the NHL wanted heading into the last day of group play as it provides a ton of clinching scenarios.
