4 Nations Face-Off Roster To Be Revealed: How Many Devils Will Make It?
The day that many have anxiously awaited for is almost here.
The rosters for the 4 Nations Face-Off will be revealed on Wednesday, Dec. 4, 2024.
The tournament, which features the United States, Canada, Sweden, and Finland, will take place from Feb. 12-20 in Boston and Montreal. Seven games will be played.
Each team will play three tournament games in a round-robin format, using the following points system: three points for a win in regulation time, two points for a win in overtime/shootout, one point for a loss in overtime/shootout, and no points for a loss in regulation time. The two teams with the best tournament record will advance to a one-game final.
Per NHL PR, "Each roster will be comprised of 23 NHL Players (20 skaters, three goalies), including the six Players announced in June. All Players must be under an NHL contract for the 2024-25 season and on an NHL roster as of Dec. 2, 2024."
New Jersey Devils forward Jesper Bratt and goaltender Jacob Markstrom have been projected to make Sweden's final roster. The 26-year-old winger has 35 points (12 goals, 23 assists) in 28 games. New Jersey's netminder has 12 wins this season, tied for the third most among goaltenders.
Jack Hughes is expected to join his older brother, Quinn Hughes, and represent the United States. Their youngest brother, Luke Hughes, has made a strong case for himself over the first 19 games of the 2024-25 season but has not been projected by many to make the team.
