In the 4 Nations Face-Off opener on February 13, 2025, Team USA secured a commanding 6-1 victory over Finland at Montreal’s Bell Centre. Brothers Brady and Matthew Tkachuk each contributed two goals, significantly impacting the game’s outcome.
The game began with Finland taking an early lead, but the Tkachuk brothers’ performance, especially in the third period, shifted the momentum in favor of the U.S. Matthew Tkachuk’s power-play goal early in the third period was quickly followed by a goal from Jake Guentzel just 11 seconds later, tying an international tournament record for the fastest consecutive goals by one team.
This victory sets a positive tone for Team USA as they prepare to face Canada in their next matchup on February 15, 2025.
