Jets' Morrissey To Face Hellebuyck and Connor In 4 Nations Face-Off Final
After Team Canada beat Finland 5-3, they booked their place against Team USA in the 4 Nations Face-Off final.
Canada jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead in the first period after goals from Connor McDavid, Nathan MacKinnon and Brayden Point. MacKinnon added his second of the game and third of the tournament in the second period to further separate themselves from Finland. Finland attempted to make a miraculous comeback, cutting the lead to just one goal before Sidney Crosby added the empty net goal to ensure the win.

Josh Morrissey was once again held off the scoresheet but recorded 19:12 of ice time, third among defenders on Team Canada behind Cale Makar and Devon Toews. The Winnipeg Jets blueliner was able to record two shots on goal and four blocks.
With the win, Canada sets up a rematch against Team USA, and Morrissey will be looking for revenge over his teammates Connor Hellebuyck and Kyle Connor.
USA will take on Sweden tonight, but the result will have no effect on the tournament. USA has clinched first place in the round robin, and Sweden, even if they secure a regulation win, would lose the head-to-head battle against Canada.
Canadian Jets fans will likely be hoping to see Morrissey and Canada prevail, but a sense of pride will likely be felt watching Hellebuyck and Connor hoist the trophy and walk away with gold medals if the Americans are victorious.
