Team Canada is playing Team USA in the finals of the 4 Nations Face-Off and all eyes are on the goaltending matchup which could very well decide this game.
On the American side, it will be none other than
Connor Hellebuyck in the net, who is likely to win the Vezina trophy this season.

However, on the Canadian side, the starter will be
Jordan Binnington, which comes as no surprise since Canada has played him in all three of their games so far.
Overall,
Binnington has not had the best season with the St. Louis Blues as his goals-against average is 2.89 and he has a save percentage of .897.
His first three games of the tournament were kind of all over the place, and not many fans trust him going into a match against the Americans.
This is made evident on social media, where numerous fans have been looking directly at Binnington as the potential savior of this team.
Based on the tweets above, it is very clear that fans are nervous about Canada's fate being rested on the shoulders of the Blues goaltender.
That said, Binnington did will his team to victory in the Stanley Cup Finals all the way back in 2019, and he did it in Boston.
Overall, it is going to be a fascinating matchup and we cannot wait to see it all go down tonight.
