Why you should back Team USA
In addition to having a confidence boost from defeating Canada less than a week ago, Team USA will have a few players back in the mix for the 2025 4 Nations Final on Thursday. That includes three-time Rocket Richard Trophy winner Auston Matthews, who is still looking for his first goal in the tournament. Vezina Trophy hopeful Connor Hellebuyck will also be back between the pipes after resting in the final preliminary game against Sweden, and the Winnipeg Jets netminder has only allowed one goal in each of his previous 4 Nations Face-off starts.
There is a bit of concern for USA as Boston Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy will miss the 2025 4 Nations Final due to a shoulder injury that has kept him in the hospital. Team USA hopes to fill the blue line void with Vancouver Canucks captain Quinn Hughes, who entered the NHL break hoping to win a second consecutive Norris Trophy.

Why you should back Team Canada
Speaking of the Norris Trophy, the current betting favorite to win that award will be back in the lineup for Team Canada on Thursday. Cale Makar missed Saturday’s fight-heavy battle against the U.S. due to an illness, although he returned for Monday’s victory against Finland. He has three goals and eight assists against the Jets in his career, including an overtime game-winning goal against Hellebuyck.
Canada has the upper hand when it comes to best-on-best international tournaments. The Canadiana had won 17 straight best-on-best bouts before Saturday’s loss to the Americans, including Olympic gold medals in 2010 and 2014 and the 2016 World Cup of Hockey. The Canadians have won five of the past six best-on-best tournaments and nine of the last 13 dating back to the 1976 Canada Cup. Meanwhile, the U.S. hasn’t won a best-on-best matchup since the 1996 World Cup of Hockey. See which team to back at SportsLine.
