The Championship game of the inaugural NHL 4 Nations Face-Off takes place this Thursday, with the United States facing Canada after the two favorites topped the table of the four-nation tournament, beating Sweden and Finland into the final. The US beat Canada 3-1 when they met in the round robin, but a surprise loss to Sweden showed Team USA’s weakness, and anything could happen in the final.
Here’s how to watch Canada vs USA live streams online, on TV and from anywhere.

Date and time
- Date: Thursday, February 20
- Start time: 8pm ET / 5pm PT / 1am GMT (Fri)
The USA and Canada were the favorites going into this brand-new tournament, both keen to not only shape up their teams ahead of the Winter Olympics, but take a big win over their rivals too.
They both won two games in the round robin stage, with the United States beating Canada last week in Montreal, but for the US it really should have been three wins – it was a surprise when they lost to Sweden, who Canada beat 4-3.
The late wobble wasn’t enough to deny the US a spot in the Championship game, though, and Canada edged Sweden on goal difference to make the final that many wold have predicted pre-tournament.
Even though they’ve already met in this competition, it’s still all to play for in the Championship game, with the two sides closely matched and plenty of motivation to go after a big win.
