Team USA and Team Canada put on a marvellous show on Saturday night for fans in a highly anticipated matchup between the two rivals, and now the remainder of the 4 Nations Face-Off will take place in Boston at the TD Garden.
The game started off hot with three fights taking place in the first nine seconds into the first period, one including New York Rangers forward J.T. Miller, which ultimately set the tone for the remainder of the night.
Both Canada and USA were throwing heavy hits throughout the game. The two teams combined for 63 hits, with USA leading the way having 34 hits and Canada having 29.
The four New York Rangers and Team USA managed to battle through and defeat Team Canada by a score of 3-1, making Canada's next game a do-or-die match.
Major development has surfaced regarding the four Rangers representing Team USA
Following their win against Team Canada, J.T. Miller, Vincent Trocheck, Adam Fox and Chris Kreider, along with Team USA clinched their spot in the finals which is set to take place at TD Garden on Thursday.
USA have clinched a berth in the #4Nations Face-Off final and first in the overall standings through the round-robin portion of the tournament.
Canada is now set to face Finland on Monday and are going to need to win in regulation if they want to get a rematch against Team USA in the finals.
J.T. Miller was arguably the best Ranger during last nights game as he threw his weight around even got into a tilt within the first 9 seconds of the game, following two other fights from the Tkachuk brothers.
Jeremy Swayman unfortunately has not seen a game for Team USA and with the way Hellebuyck is playing, it's unlikely he is going too.
Unfortunately, Chris Kreider has not seen a game yet with Team USA but with Matthew Tkachuk's latest injury he just might get his first appearance on Monday against Team Sweden at 8PM.
