Team Canada News & Notes:

Canada enters the tournament as the second favorite to win the Four Nations Faceoff. They come in loaded offensively but the question is can the goaltending step up to lead them? They will rely heavily on defensive help.

Team Sweden News & Notes:

Sweden comes in as the third favorite to win the Four Nations Faceoff. Sweden is a sneaky team that has talent all over their lineup and can be led by goaltending but can also score with some big names on the roster.
