Final projected United States roster for the 4-nation duel

The 2025 4 Nations Face-Off will take place February 12-20 in Montreal and Boston, with teams of NHL players from Finland, Sweden, Canada and the United States competing in a round-robin tournament. This will be the first best-on-best tournament since the 2016 World Cup of Hockey in Toronto.

The international tournament is still around three months away, but full squads for each nation will be announced on December 4th. The rosters for Finland and Sweden will be announced during a live show produced by NHL Network and made available worldwide. ESPN will also announce the remaining players from Finland and Sweden during the SportsCenter edition at 2 p.m. ET. At 6:30 p.m. ET, roster balance for Canada and the United States will be announced during live pre-game shows on Sportsnet and TNT, leading up to doubleheaders on both networks.

Before that happens, NHL.com wanted to take an up-to-date look at what each roster might look like and, with the help of a panel of three writers and editors, put together a list of 23 players (20 skaters, three goaltenders) for each team.

NHL contributors Amalie Benjamin, Mike G. Morreale and Dan Rosen unveiled their original United States roster in February and an updated one in July and one last month. With the official rosters set to be announced on December 4th, Benjamin, Morreale and Rosen are making one last attempt with some changes.

Six players (marked with an asterisk) were named to the squad by their hockey associations in June.
