US anthem booed in Canada before 4 Nations Face-Off win over Finland

• USA beat Finland 6-1 in 4 Nations Face-Off opener
• Star-Spangled Banner booed by Montreal crowd

Brady and Matthew Tkachuk each scored twice, and the brothers had a handful of big hits to help the United States beat Finland 6-1 on Thursday night in each team's opening game at the 4 Nations Face-Off, a physical showdown played with edge throughout.

Everyone was finishing checks, including Jack Eichel dumping Finnish captain Aleksander Barkov into the US bench. Brady Tkachuk bowled over 6ft 6in Niko Mikkola with one of his game-high eight hits, and Matthew Tkachuk gave Patrik Laine an earful before a faceoff as the Americans began to take over.
