Finland-Sweden and Finland-Canada in Prime Time at Casino Sports Bar
How would it sound to see Finnish top players Artturi Lehkonen, Aleksander Barkov, and Mikko Rantanen on the ice at the same time – possibly even on the same line? Or Teuvo Teräväinen, Sebastian Aho, and Patrik Laine? How about Juuse Saros in goal, with Miro Heiskanen and Esa Lindell as the defensive pair in front of him? In February’s 4 Nations Face-Off tournament, this is all possible – at Casino Sports Bar of course.
4 Nations Face-Off to Be Played in February 2025
After a hiatus of several years, the world’s best hockey players will face off in an NHL-organized four-nation tournament officially called the 4 Nations Face-Off. The tournament takes place from February 12–20, 2025, in Canada and the United States. National teams from Canada, Sweden, Finland, and the USA will compete, with rosters exclusively consisting of NHL players. This tournament replaces the 2024–25 NHL All-Star event, which will not be held.
Each team will play three round-robin games, one against each opponent. Every game counts, as only the top two teams from the group stage will advance to the final, held in Boston. It’s win or go home. All games of the 2025 NHL 4 Nations Face-Off will follow NHL rules.
Games on Sports Bar Screens February 15 and 17
Two of Finland’s games – Finland vs. Sweden on Saturday, February 15, and Finland vs. Canada on Monday, February 17 – will air in prime time at 8:00 PM. In addition, the Lions will face the USA on Friday, February 14, at 3:00 AM.
