The 4 Nations Face-Off, which is set to run from Feb. 12-20, is the NHL’s first foray into international hockey since the 2016 World Cup
Florida Panthers centre Sam Reinhart during a game against the Buffalo Sabres, in Buffalo, N.Y., on Oct. 12. Reinhart said that while his aim is to make Canada ’s roster for the NHL 4 Nations Face-Off, playing well after last season’s 57-goal output and Stanley Cup victory is the starting point. Reinhart sits among a group of players looking to grab roster spots for the NHL 4 Nations Face-Off – the league’s first foray into international hockey since the 2016 World Cup.
Reinhart said that while his aim is to make Canada’s contingent, playing well coming off last season’s 57-goal output and Cup victory is the starting point. “There are great hockey minds figuring that stuff out,” said Hyman, who plays alongside McDavid in the Alberta capital. “It’d be a huge honour.” “Nice to be considered,” said St. Louis Blues forward Robert Thomas, who’s in the mix for Canada. “It’s a bucket list thing.”“There’s so many good Canadian players,” he said. “Going to be super hard to make.”
Dallas Stars centre Wyatt Johnston said it would be “nerve-racking” to walk into Canada’s locker room at 21 years old. “Hopefully have that honour to represent the country,” he said. “Ultimately, not my choice. You can’t focus on the end result.Players from the countries not included in the 4 Nations will get a significant mid-season break to recharge ahead of the push down the back half of the NHL schedule.
