The Americans recognized the opportunity they lost at the 4 Nations Face-Off, but will be strong next year in Italy.
This little mid-season tournament proved to be something much greater, and the NHL must now deal with the ramifications.
Team USA and Team Canada, Boston Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy threw a monster hit on Connor McDavid while in the defensive zone. Just 30 seconds after, Jake Guentzel scored for Team USA to tie the game up at 1-1.
According to the Boston Globe, Charlie McAvoy was admitted to Mass. General Hospital due to injury from play in the 4 Nations Face-Off.
