For the first time in nine years, the best players will face each other when the national team tournament Four Nations is arranged by NHL on February 13-21.
Sweden, Canada, USA, and Finland will compete in the tournament, which will be decided with one year left until the Olympic Games in Milano.
It is now also clear that Swedish fans can follow the matches on Viaplay. The company, which already broadcasts NHL, has secured the rights to the star tournament in Montreal and Boston, announces Viaplay in the program "Good Morning NHL".
I see the USA and Canada as the strongest teams on paper, but I really hope that Tre Kronor can make it to the final. All four teams can win the tournament, says expert Jacob Josefson.
Tre Kronor will start against Canada in Montreal on February 13.
