In February 2025, the NHL debuted a new tournament called the 4 Nations Face-Off, in place of the NHL All-Star Game. This tournament consisted of four teams: Canada, the United States, Sweden, and Finland, and featured the best NHL players from each country facing off. Led by Edmonton Oilers superstar Connor McDavid and his four points (two goals and two assists), Canada reached the championship game to face the United States. In a rematch of a previous heated game in which the United States won 3-1, the championship game was a back-and-forth nailbiter that was tied 2-2 at the end of regulation. In a tense overtime period, McDavid sealed the deal 8:18 into overtime with a goal to win the 4 Nations Face-Off for his home country and his fifth and final point of the tournament, finishing second in the tournament in scoring.
