4 Nations Face-Off: How to watch Canada vs. Sweden opener

The opening game of the 4 Nations Face-Off will answer the question of whether opponents can shut down Canada’s high-powered offense.

It also will answer whether Canada’s goaltenders can shut down opponents.

Canadian goaltending is considered a weakness at the tournament, and St. Louis Blues goalie Jordan Binnington will get the call against Sweden on Wednesday night to try to show otherwise. None of the three Canadian goalies has a save percentage above .900, but Binnington and Adin Hill have won Stanley Cup titles.

Canada-Sweden is the lone game on the schedule Wednesday. The USA and Finland play Thursday night.
