Ottawa Senators forward and Team USA overnight sensation Brady Tkachuk admitted it was a strange experience playing for Team USA at the 4 Nations Face-Off. That, however, doesn't have to do with being part of the team but rather with the tournament taking place in American and Canadian cities,

It would be impossible to retell the history of the 4 Nations Face-Off without mentioning the notorious Team USA group text which ultimately led to the trio of fights at the start of the matchup between the United States and Canada.

Tkachuk is "hopeful" to play Wednesday against the Winnipeg Jets but doesn't want to "reaggravate" the injury.
