  • Team USA defeated Team Canada 3-1 in both team's second match at the NHL's 4 Nations Face-Off on Saturday night. It was an incredible effort by the Stars and Stripes to overcome a physical showing by the Canadians in their first best-on-best meeting since the 2016 World Cup.

The article discusses the historical context of the United States' performance against Canada in best-on-best hockey, focusing on the upcoming 2025 NHL 4 Nations Face-Off. It highlights that the last time the U.S. defeated Canada in such a setting was during the 1996 World Cup of Hockey, where the U.S. won the series 2-1, with key contributions from players like Brett Hull and Mike Richter. Since then, Canada has dominated, winning the 2004 World Cup and the 2010 and 2014 Olympic gold medals. The article also mentions the U.S. team's recent successes in other international competitions but notes their struggle against Canada in best-on-best scenarios, setting the stage for the 2025 tournament where the U.S. aims to end their drought against Canada.
