The 4 Nations Face-Off tournament in the NHL has kicked off with exciting matches, including Canada's comeback win against Sweden and Team USA's dominant victory over Finland. The tournament features top players from the US, Canada, Finland, and Sweden competing in a round-robin format, with the top two teams facing off in the final on February 20. The tournament replaces the NHL's annual All-Star game and features intense competition among NHL players aiming for victory in must-win games. The tournament's overtime rules differ from the NHL's regular season, with 10-minute overtimes in round-robin games and 20-minute sudden-death overtimes in the final.
