<p>On Wednesday, Team USA announced its roster for the inaugural 4 Nations Face-Off.</p>



<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">USA's roster for the <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/4Nations?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#4Nations</a> Face-Off has landed! 🇺🇸 <a href="https://t.co/DXeSBqLO30">pic.twitter.com/DXeSBqLO30</a></p>— NHL (@NHL) <a href="https://twitter.com/NHL/status/1864453074208641486?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 4, 2024</a></blockquote> <script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>



<p>In June, the first six players were announced, headlined by reigning Rocket Richard Trophy winner, and <a href="https://theleafsnation.com/">Toronto Maple Leafs</a> captain Auston Matthews. He powers an offensive unit flanked by former USNTDP teammate Matthew Tkachuk (<a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/teams/florida-panthers/line-combinations">Florida Panthers</a>), with Adam Fox (<a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/teams/new-york-rangers/line-combinations">New York Rangers</a>) and Charlie McAvoy (<a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/teams/boston-bruins/line-combinations">Boston Bruins</a>) also from that stacked 2014-15 Under-18 squad also playing in the 4 Nations. </p>



<p>Matthew will have a chance to play with his younger brother, <a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/teams/ottawa-senators/line-combinations">Ottawa Senators</a> captain Brady Tkachuk. It will be the first time the sons of Keith Tkachuk will play alongside each other in an organized competition. Along with the likes of Jack Hughes (<a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/teams/new-jersey-devils/line-combinations">New Jersey Devils</a>) and Jack Eichel (<a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/teams/vegas-golden-knights/line-combinations">Vegas Golden Knights</a>), the Americans are going to have plenty of offensive weapons at their disposal.</p><div class="injected-ad injected-video" data-nn-ad-tech-injection-count="0" data-nn-ad-tech-max-gap="130" data-nn-ad-tech-current-gap="167"></div>



<p><a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/teams/winnipeg-jets/line-combinations">Winnipeg Jets</a> goaltender Connor Hellebuyck, to no one’s surprise, has been named to the United States’ roster, and is expected to be the No. 1 netminder when the puck drops in February. He is going to be backed up by Jeremy Swayman (Bruins) and Jake Oettinger (<a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/teams/dallas-stars/line-combinations">Dallas Stars</a>), guys who are no slouches by any stretch despite some bumps in the road early on this season.</p>
