American and Canadian players expect even more emotion and physicality than their first meeting when they clash for a second time in Thursday's 4 Nations Face-Off finale in Boston.

The Minnesota Wild have been without Kirill Kaprizov for roughly a month and it doesn't appear his return will be soon.

Broadcaster Mike Lange, who called Pittsburgh Penguins games for 46 years, has died, the team announced. He was 76.

The Wild's Matt Boldy and Brock Faber are set to play in the 4 Nations Face-Off final against Canada on Thursday night.
