Auston Matthews of the Toronto Maple Leafs has been selected as the U.S. captain for the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off. Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins will captain Canada again, while that job goes to Victor Hedman of the Tampa Bay Lightning for Sweden and Aleksander Barkov of the Tampa Bay Lightning for Finland.

The United States, Canada, Finland and Sweden will play in the Feb. 12-20 4 Nations Face-Off. Here are the rosters and captains.

Dallas Stars defenseman Miro Heiskanen is week to week with a lower-body injury sustained on a big hit from Vegas captain Mark Stone

Off, injuries are starting to pile up for star players across the league. Among them are Minnesota Wild forward Kirill Kaprizov and Dallas Stars defenseman Miro Heiskanen, who are expected to miss several weeks.

Auston Matthews being named Team USA captain comes as no great surprise but it is a testament to his health as he's looked better in January than any other month this season.

The rivalry between the Vegas Golden Knights and the Dallas Stars has brewed over the years with a new talking point after their final regular season game of this season on Tuesday.

The Minnesota Wild scored two first-period goals and got a 31-save effort from Filip Gustavsson to key a 3-1 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs Wednesday in Toronto.

Pittsburgh Penguins star Sidney Crosby is back in a familiar spot, as Canada's captain for the 4 Nations Face-Off tournament next month in Montreal and Boston.

The Columbus Blue Jackets and Vegas Golden Knights have a closer history than you may think, given the direction of both teams over the past five seasons. Vegas has much more success, but Columbus has proven to be a difficult matchup since 2018.

For the first time in well over a year, John Klingberg is suiting up in an NHL game. The former All-Star defenceman will make his Oilers debut playing alongside Darnell Nurse on the team’s second pairing when Edmonton hosts the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday night.

Miro Heiskanen suffered a lower-body injury during a collision with Mark Stone during a 4-3 overtime win over the Vegas Golden Knights. The injury happened after Stone fell into Heiskanen's knee during a tripping incident. Heiskanen had an MRI, and the Stars are waiting for more details. He will also see a specialist.

Evgenii Dadonov had a goal and an assist, Casey DeSmith stopped 33 shots in his second shutout of the season and Dallas beat St. Louis. Esa Lindell scored a power-play goal, Miro Heiskanen had an assist for the fourth straight game and Dallas won for the seventh time in its last nine road games.
