The 4 Nations Face-Off culminates tonight in Boston, MA, as Team Canada and Team USA square off in the championship game. Buffalo Sabres forward Tage Thompson flew to Boston to act as a last-minute reserve player in case the American team needed him, but it seems like he will not be needed after all.
Puck drop is set for 8 PM ET on ESPN, ESPN+ and Disney+.
After tonight, NHL teams return to regular season action on Saturday.
As a gentle reminder, and particularly given the escalating political charge that seems to be building ahead of tonight’s puck drop, please keep in mind our Code of Conduct:
