Panthers lead all NHL teams with eight players named to 4 Nations Face-Off
Only months removed from winning the franchise’s first Stanley Cup, the Florida Panthers once again lead all NHL clubs with eight players named to the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off.
Consisting of 23-man rosters representing four competing countries, the Panthers will have forwards Sam Bennett and Sam Reinhart join Canada; four Finns in Aleksander Barkov, Anton Lundell, Eetu Luostarinen, and Niko Mikkola; defenseman Gustav Forsling with Sweden; and left winger Matthew Tkachuk with the United States.
The Vegas Golden Knights headline all Western Conference clubs with seven participants: forward Mark Stone, defensemen Alex Pietrangelo and Shea Theodore, and goaltender Adin Hill, all with Canada; center Jack Eichel and defenseman Noah Hanifin will play for the United States; and center William Karlsson will join his native Sweden.
Alongside the Panthers, the Toronto Maple Leafs are the only other NHL club with at least one player on all four competing teams. Meanwhile, the Seattle Kraken and Washington Capitals are the only squads without at least one participant.
