McAvoy can match any teammate – and to any opponent – to be one of Team US’s brightest stars in defense. His transition games are elite and McAvoy opens room for Team US forward while also giving his own violation. – Shilton

Presentation: No. 41

Presentation: 36

Although the predators have fought, Saros has been a constant as he has played in everyone except 11 of their games. – Clark

Presentation: 24

Presentation: 53

Whether in 5-to-5, Power Play or Penalty Murder, Faber has been shown to have confidence to play heavy minutes in all scenarios. – Clark

Presentation: 49

The fast center was heated as the red wings are climbed back in the playoffs in the east with 9 goals in 14 games in January. – Wyshynski

Presentation: 43

Morrissey combines advanced defensive skills with a strong offensive upside, and that’s what will help drive Canada’s backend contribution in this Tourrnament. He is fast, smart and super competitive. – Shilton

Kempe has been a top-line goal-scoring wings for Los Angeles Kings in the past four seasons thanks to his fast skating. – Wyshynski

Presentation: 18

Guentzel is opportunistic and a brilliant post -therapist with the puck. It is no wonder that he can easily average one point per point. Fighting and pairing relatively well with almost anyone. The ability to form quick chemistry will be tender now, and Team USA will count on Guentzel to make this magic happen. – Shilton

Presentation: 29

Canada boasts one of the game’s best two-way forward in Stone to anchor his bottom-six forward group. The veteran is also an excellent playmaker that can frustrate opponents in the corners and break down acting in the transition. – Shilton

Presentation: 28

Miller is not sweating any trade rumors now and is free to be the versatile active team the United States needs. He can play center or on the wing and combines good speed with a heavy shot and physical presence. Whatever the United States has to call, you have to trust Miller to be a significant factor in the team’s offensive success. – Shilton

24. Adam Fox, D, USA

Presentation: 38

Fox has three equal 70-plus points seasons that play in all situations for rangers. – Wyshynski

Presentation: 34

Forsberg’s offensive skill has him in his third season of more than 80 points in the last four years. – Clark

Presentation: 79

Bratt is one of NHL’s most explosive stick handling wings, playing at almost a point-per-game pace over his last three seasons. – Wyshynski

Presentation: 19

Aho is an elite two-way center on a Finland team that can already boast of another such rarity in Aleksander Barkov. So be careful. Aho is a leading scorer and playmaker that handles any responsibility with apparent ease. His criminal murder is not bad either. This may be the flashest fine of them all – Shilton

Presentation: 58

Now that Connor is fully healthy, he is underway in his first 100-point season as Jets remains in violation of the NHL’s top record. – Clark

Presentation: 32

Nylander creates a career year offensively in Toronto while continuing to show his growth at both ends of the ice – which has only made the Swedish more dangerous. He has also been a cunning threat, and his penchant this season, especially to create – and capitalize on – the breakdown goal should have the other three teams on high alarm. – Shilton

Presentation: 74

Werenski has been Columbus Blue Jackets’ MVP this season, led his team to score as a defender and log almost 27 minutes per day. Match. – Wyshynski

Presentation: 25

Ottawa’s captain is known for its passion and typical Tkachukian gravel. But Tkachuk is more than just a younger Matthew – he is an iherig skater who can run any line and raise teammates. When Team USA players need a spark plug, they make it switch to Tkachuk. – Shilton

Presentation: 21

Canada coach Jon Cooper knows exactly what he gets from point and it’s a top-tier performance. The point is versatile and determined, strategic and quick on pucker, and always (apparently) one step ahead of an opponent’s defense. This is what helps drift the violation of lightning and can be a game election for Canada. – Shilton

Presentation: 30

It is hardly overreacting to say that Reinhart has become one of the best fowards in the game. He comes out of a 94-point season and is in the process of hitting amazing numbers again as a knowledgeable, high-octo-scorer who also doesn’t ski on the defensive side. Reinhart is one of Canada’s most rounded skaters. – Shilton

Presentation: 23

Several items have come to define Hedman throughout his famous career. Consistency is among them. This consistency has enabled the lightning to remain an Eastern Conference Challenger and could give Sweden a path to the championship. – Clark

Presentation: 8

Rantan’s recent trade for Carolina Hurricanes means he will now be the primary focal point. It will also be the same for Finland. The Hulking wing has established himself as one of the game’s strongest facilitators, while consistently proving that he can score as many goals as he creates. – Clark

Presentation: 16

It has never been a matter of talent for Eichel. It’s been more of a conversation about what he could do with that talent. What he has done for the Golden Knights appears as a top-line center that can trust in any situation in a way that makes him a factor every time he steps on to the ice. It is also another reason why he is driving for Hart Trophy. – Clark

Presentation: 5

Tkachuk can (and do) do it all on the ice and it will continue to be his superpower in this tournament. Whether it channels his physical around the net, the defense terrorizes his scoring skills or differs as a playmaker, Tkachuk’s teammates know that they get a certain effort from him in each game. – Shilton

Presentation: 15

Hughes is a dominant passersby who will push the pace of the United States ahead and create its own chances along the way.

Presentation: 14

Marner does not take the back seat to anyone on Canada’s list of the level of skill and talent he brings. The wing is a power center by even strength and on the power play. He can eat short -haired minutes. And did we mention playmaking? It’s unparalleled in the league – and this tournament. – Shilton

Presentation: 13

If Crosby has done something this year, it shows why he can never be counted out. In a terrible year for Pittsburgh as a whole, Crosby has continued to produce and will continuously testament its team in the match. It is the latter management ability that can benefit Canada most and is an important reason why, whether Crosby falls into a top-six or more complementary role, he is an indispensable piece of the lineup. – Shilton

Presentation: 10

Barkov does what Barkov is doing best this season. He average one point per Battle while still acting like a game’s strongest two -way forward. Knowing that Finland could have Barkov anchoring a line with the Rantan is the kind of combination that could see them go a long way in the tournament. – Clark

Presentation: 12

For all the challenges that Canucks face, Hughe’s performance this season has not been one of them. The reigning Norris Trophy winner looks like he could raise the award again as he is in another equal 90-point season while holding Canucks during an endgame. – Clark

Presentation: 6

Matthews was tapped as Team US Captain of a Grunden-He has made the most of this damaged NHL campaign as a point-per-game skater, which as always can tilt the ice to his team’s advantage. And that shot? It’s deadly like ever – just like Matthews turns out to be. – Shilton

What he did last season, so Hellebuyck win his second vezina trophy. What he has done this year has made it possible for him to have what is perhaps the best season of his career, and could see him win more than just a third Vezina. – Clark

Presentation: 4

Makar’s ability to influence several facets of the game is what makes him one of NHL’s best players at any position. Already teammates with Mackinnon, having these two on the ice along with McDavid for a power play could cause a lot of problems. – Clark

Presentation: 1

His status as the best player of the game has consistently been cemented by the fact that he has finished more than 100 points seven times in his career. McDavid is underway in a fifth straight season of more than 100 points, which only adds to the intrigues of what he could achieve at 4 Nations Face-off. – Clark
