Captains Crosby for Canada and Matthews for the US shoulder big tasks in the 4 Nations Face-Off
Crosby is reprising his role as Canada's captain for the 4 Nations Face-Off taking place next month in Montreal and Boston, just as he did in 2014 and the 2016 World Cup of Hockey. Auston Matthews is the U.S. captain for the first time in his career after only earlier this year taking over that job with the Toronto Maple Leafs.
