Canada — USA Four Nations Tournament forecast and bets

Current form

Canada has assembled one of its best ever squads for the home tournament.

Due to the break in the league, the Leafs are the main favorites in this tournament along with the USA. Indeed, absolutely every link of the Canadians is filled with a large number of the best players in the world. The center stands out especially: McKinnon, Crosby and McDavid, with the support of their teammates, must tear apart the opponent's defense.
