The 4 Nations Face-Off is the first best-on-best international tournament in men’s hockey since the 2016 World Cup. The event pits NHL rosters from Canada, Finland, Sweden, and the United States against one another in a round-robin format, under the following points system: 3 points for a win in regulation; 2 points for a win in overtime/shootout; 1 point for a loss in overtime/shootout; and 0 points for a loss in regulation.

The two teams with the most points at the conclusion of round-robin play will compete in a championship game at TD Garden in Boston on Thursday, Feb. 20.

Thursday, Feb. 20: Championship game

Canada 3 - United States 2 (OT)

Tage Thompson joined Team USA in Boston ahead of Thursday's championship game but couldn't join the roster; per tournament rules, the U.S. could've added a replacement only if it had fewer than 18 available skaters.

Both nations were well represented inside TD Garden, and both had a goal to cheer for in the first period. Canada's Nathan MacKinnon opened the scoring five minutes in with a well-screened shot from up high. And late in the period, Brady Tkachuk drove to the net and deflected a bouncing puck past Jordan Binnington to tie it for the Americans.

Jake Sanderson put the U.S. in front 7:32 into the second. Auston Matthews tallied his second assist of the night, firing a backhand shot that produced a rebound for Sanderson. But Sam Bennett responded 6:28 later with a short-side snipe on Connor Hellebuyck, sending the game to the second intermission in a 2-2 tie.

A defensively tight third period saw a combined 12 shots and no goals, forcing overtime. Like in the NHL playoffs, the teams would play 20-minute periods until the deciding goal.

That goal came 8:18 into the first overtime courtesy of Connor McDavid. A few minutes after Binnington kept Canada alive with a seres of excellent saves, McDavid found open ice in the slot and ripped a top-corner shot to clinch the 4 Nations Face-Off championship for Canada.

MacKinnon was named 4 Nations MVP after scoring four goals in four games for Canada.
