What to Know About the 4 Nations Face-Off Format
In the round-robin stage, each team will play one game against the other three participating countries. Teams earn three points for a regulation win, two points for an overtime or shootout win, and one point if they lose in overtime or a shootout. The two teams with the highest point totals at the end of the round-robin stage will advance to the championship game.
Games will follow NHL rules, with one key exception: during the round-robin stage, overtime will consist of 10 minutes of 3-on-3 sudden-death play, unlike the NHL's standard five minutes. If the game remains tied after the 10-minute overtime, it will proceed to a shootout.
For the championship game, overtime rules will mirror NHL playoff overtime: teams will play 5-on-5 hockey in 20-minute periods, with the first team to score declared the winner.
This format ensures thrilling, high-stakes hockey throughout the tournament!
