Bruins confirm major announcement after sending four players to NHL 4 Nations Face-Off
Four Boston Bruins players will represent their countries at the NHL’s 4 Nations Face-Off in February.
Jeremy Swayman will join fellow American Charlie McAvoy, who was named to Team USA’s roster last summer. Two additional Bruins, Brad Marchand (Canada) and Elias Lindholm (Sweden), will also participate. Bruins general manager Don Sweeney will serve as Team Canada’s general manager.
Former Bruins Linus Ullmark (Sweden) and Erik Haula (Finland) are also set to compete.
Notably, Bruins defenseman Hampus Lindholm was left off Sweden’s roster due to a lower-body injury sustained in November. While the severity remains unclear, interim coach Joe Sacco recently confirmed Lindholm is still weeks away from returning. Swedish team officials were unavailable for comment regarding their decision.
The tournament kicks off on Feb. 12 with Canada facing Sweden at 8 p.m., followed by the United States playing Finland on Feb. 13 at 8 p.m.
