Just three Montreal Canadiens players and only one Quebecer made the Canada and Finland rosters for the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off in February.
Three Montreal Canadiens and one player from the province of Quebec will be on the ice at the 4 Nations Face-Off in February.
By way of comparison, four Quebecers were on the 2014 Team Canada squad at the Sochi Winter Olympics. Three Habs - Carey Price and P.K. Subban for Canada and Max Pacioretty on the USA - made rosters on four nations teams.
The Bleu-Blanc-Rouge will be most represented on Finland as forwards Joel Armia and recently returned Patrik Laine will suit up for the blue and white Nordic side.
Habs netminder Sam Montembeault will join Jordan Binnington of the St. Lous Blues and Vegas’ Adin Hill on Team Canada.
Montembeault is the only Quebecer on Canada’s roster.
Canadiens’ top liners Cole Caufield (USA) and Nick Suzuki (Canada) failed to make it past either team’s final cuts.
