Toronto Maple Leafs' Mitch Marner is set to play alongside NHL stars Connor McDavid, Sidney Crosby, Nathan MacKinnon, Brad Marchand, and Brayden Point in the upcoming NHL 4 Nations Face-Off international tournament.
Mitch Marner skated alongside Connor McDavid and Sidney Crosby this summer in preparation for the season.Marner was one of 17 players named Wednesday to round out Canada’s 23-man roster for the NHL 4 Nations Face-Off tournament with the league poised to re-enter the international hockey sphere.
Also making the team up front are Vegas Golden Knights captain Mark Stone, Travis Konecny of the Philadelphia Flyers and Seth Jarvis of the Carolina Hurricanes. Canada doesn’t have the same goaltending pedigree as at past international events, but head coach Jon Cooper of Tampa will likely lean on Stanley Cup winners Jordan Binnington of the Blues and Adin Hill of the Golden Knights. Sam Montembeault of the Montreal Canadiens rounds out the puck-stopping trio.
The 4 Nations tournament, which also includes the United States, Sweden and Finland, runs Feb. 12-20 in Montreal and Boston, and will serve as an appetizer for the NHL’s Olympic return in 2026.This showcase won’t technically meet that threshold with Russia — because of its ongoing war in Ukraine — and reigning world champions Czechia not in the mix. But there should still be plenty of interest with McDavid, Crosby, Leafs captain Auston Matthews of the U.S.
The goal of the NHL and NHL Players’ Association is hold a World Cup with an expanded field in both 2028 and 2032 to get international events on a two-year cycle moving forward.
