Canada and USA’s first matchup at the 4 Nations Face-Off tournament was an instant classic. The encore on Thursday night promises to be just as entertaining. The border rivals clash in the Championship Game from Boston’s TD Garden, with puck drop scheduled for 8 pm ET.
Their first meeting was Canada’s lone all tournament to fall under the total, but online sportsbooks are still bullish on several Canadian stars in the player props market. The table below displays all available player props for Canada vs USA at FanDuel. Underneath the table, find our favorite picks.

Team Canada’s Nathan MacKinnon leads all players with +200 odds to score, followed by Team USA’s Auston Matthews (+210), and his teammate Connor McDavid (+230). MacKinnon, a top-two Hart Trophy odds contender, is tied for the tournament lead with three goals, while McDavid has potted two, and Matthews has been shut out.
When it comes to shots on goal, MacKinnon and Mathews have the highest total at 3.5, with each under juiced to -160.
Meanwhile, in terms of the netminders, Team USA’s Connor Hellebuyck boasts a higher saves over/under at 27.5, compared to 25.5 for Canada’s Jordan Binnington.
Prop Pick #1: Jordan Binnington Under 25.5 Saves
The ladder prop is one we’d like to attack to the under. Jordan Binnington has faced 26 shots or less in all three games so far, and has made 24 or fewer saves in seven of his past eight starts dating back to his regular season work in St. Louis.
The Canadian goaltending situation has been a topic of discussion since before the tournament began. The team is without a star in net, and Binnington’s appointment as the starter was a curious decision. The Blues netminder ranks 35th in goals against average this season, and 39th in save percentage.
Through three 4 Nations starts he’s produced a save percentage south of .900 twice. It hasn’t haunted Canada, however, thanks to the wall they’ve put up in front of him. Canada leads the tournament in expected goals against. They’ve blocked 58 shots, 22 more than the Americans. They’ve sacrificed offense in order to hide Binnington, and we shouldn’t expect that to change in the final.
- Canada vs USA Prop: Jordan Binnington Under 25.5 Saves (-102)
Prop Pick #2: Kyle Connor Under 1.5 Shots
Our under theme continues for our second prop selection. We’re betting under 1.5 shots for Kyle Connor, whose role has decreased exponentially. After starting the tournament on the first line, Connor’s been demoted to the fourth unit. He’s managed only one shot on goal through three games, and has the worst expected goals rate on the team.
He played only 8 and a half minutes versus Canada, and even with the Tkachuk brothers out versus Sweden, he logged just 14 minutes. With Brady and Matthew back, his expected ice-time is sub 10 minutes, which isn’t enough opportunity to clear this number.
