How did 4 ex-Senators do in first ever 4 Nations Face-Off game between Canada-Sweden?

The first game of the 4 Nations Face-Off had arrived finally with the first game being between Canada and Sweden at Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec.

Players from both teams were eager to have country pride and compete against each other. The 4 Nations Face-Off marked the first time since the 2016 World Cup of Hockey that the NHL had best on best action.

In the first ever 4 Nations Face-Off game, there were four former Ottawa Senators players playing against each other. One was Sweden's Filip Gustavsson, who started the tournament rough by allowing in two goals in the first period against a deadly Canada offense. For the other three skaters, two of them recorded one point and one recorded zero points.

Stone, Zibanejad, Karlsson and Gustavsson play in first ever 4 Nations Face-Off game

Mark Stone, Mika Zibanejad, Erik Karlsson and Gustavsson were the four former Senators who got the chance to play in the first ever 4 Nations Face-Off game. Stone was representing Canada; Zibanejad, Karlsson and Gustavsson represented Sweden. It wasn't until the second period that one of them would make an impact on the game.

Stone, who played in 366 games for the Senators, scored a goal to extend Canada's lead to 3-1 in the second period.

Trailing 3-1 at the end of the second period, Sweden's offense came alive. Karlsson recorded an assist on Adrian Kempe's goal to cut the lead the 3-2. Then just over seven minutes later, Sweden tied the game. In the third period, Gustavsson shook off his rough start by making an unbelievable save on Canada's Devon Toews to keep the game tied at three. Gustavsson's big save helped make the game go to overtime.

In an exciting back-and-forth overtime period, Mitch Marner scored the overtime winner to give Canada the 4-3 win after over six minutes of overtime play. Zibanejad ended up going pointless in the game.

Tomorrow night at 8 p.m. ET, the second game of the 4 Nations Face-Off will occur between the United States and Finland at Bell Centre in Montreal. Brady Tkachuk and Jake Sanderson will represent the United States; Nikolas Matinpalo will represent Finland.
