The 4 Nations Face-Off is here, as four countries are battling in best-on-best action from Montreal and Boston. Canada, Finland, Sweden and the USA are all going head-to-head with the top talent in the NHL for the right to be crowned international champions.

The two last faced each other in the IIHF World Championship in 2019. Finland defeated Sweden 5-4 in overtime in the quarterfinals and went on to win gold; Lankinen allowed four goals on 18 shots in that game, including one by Pettersson. “As of now we’re not teammates for a week,” Lankinen said. “But maybe when we get back, we’ll talk more.”
