P3 12:41 – United States 2, Canada 2

An absolutely frenetic pace now! The chances are coming thick and fast. First, Canada hits the iron of Hellebuyck’s goalpost as Makar’s shot is deflected by Hagel before taking multiple bounces.

Then, Guentzel has a chance right in front of net but Binnington gets his stick to the shot to deflect it away. And finally, a loose puck off the boards nearly gives Eichel a free goal, but Point makes an incredible defensive play to knock the puck away!

Questions about Canada’s defensemen

I’m not sure Travis Sanheim and Colton Parayko were cut out for this level in the end. They’ve both struggled tonight and in stretches throughout the tournament, and Sanheim has fought the puck at times. The absences of Shea Theodore, Alex Pietrangelo and Josh Morrissey have obviously been felt, but I also think there are reasonable questions to ask about whether a MacKenzie Weegar (who can play both sides) would have been a better third-pairing fit, or if this Canadian blue line could have used Evan Bouchard’s puck-moving.

P3 17:07 – United States 2, Canada 2

Canada gets caught in a change, allowing Guentzel to scoop up a loose puck and break free on goal. Makar belatedly comes onto the ice and limits Guentzel’s options somewhat. Guentzel tries a backhand but his attempt is ultimately easy for Binnington to save.

McDavid yet to make an impact tonight

Connor McDavid has been held in check so far by the United States.

The Canadian star has totaled 13:43 minutes of ice time through two periods, but has only recorded two shots on goal.

If Canada is to win this game, they could certainly use a game-changing moment like the ones that McDavid is so capable of providing.

Zach Werenski’s second-period assist on Jake Sanderson’s goal moved him to the top of the point leader chart.

He now has six points during the 4 Nations Face-Off, moving him past Sidney Crosby’s five.

Should Werenski hang onto the top spot, he would become the first defenseman to be the outright points leader at an NHL international tournament.

Man oh man, what a hockey game through two periods.

I feel like Canada has been the slightly better team tonight, but really, it’s about as close to a dead-even game as you could have.

I will say, Cale Makar’s presence has made quite a difference.

The pressure on the goaltenders from this point on is off the charts. I can feel the tension in that building from my living room in Pittsburgh.
