Canada Defeats Finland to Set Up Thrilling Rematch Against U.S. in 4 Nations Final
Canada is on its way to a blockbuster rematch against the United States in the 4 Nations Face-Off final after a solid 5-3 victory over Finland. This sets the stage for an intense showdown in Boston on Thursday, where the Canadians will be looking to avenge their earlier loss to the Americans.
Monday night at TD Garden, Canada showed its depth and dominance, holding off a determined Finnish squad to secure their spot in the championship game.

The first meeting between these two powerhouses on Saturday was nothing short of explosive. The U.S. came out swinging—literally—picking fights within the first nine seconds to set the tone. They backed it up with a 3-1 victory in front of a hostile crowd in Montreal. Now, Canada is eager to return the favor.
Coach Jon Cooper is confident in his squad’s ability to bounce back, emphasizing that they are focused on playing their game and making adjustments. One major factor in Canada’s favor? The return of Cale Makar. The star defenseman missed the first U.S. game due to illness, and his presence on the blue line could make a crucial difference.
The U.S. squad, led by Matthew Tkachuk, Auston Matthews, and Jack Eichel, has been on a mission to prove that it's "their time." After years of falling short against Canada in major international tournaments, the Americans are hungrier than ever to take home a best-on-best title.
But history is on Canada’s side. They have dominated these high-stakes tournaments, winning nine of the 13 best-on-best events ever played, including the last three in a row. That legacy, combined with their skill and experience, makes them a formidable opponent.
Both teams are locked in, and with everything on the line, Thursday’s final promises to be an all-out battle. Will Canada reclaim its dominance, or will the U.S. complete their statement win? One thing’s for sure—hockey fans are in for an unforgettable showdown.
