Team USA and Team Canada are anxiously watching the clock, counting down to puck drop on Thursday night at TD Garden. Once the clock hits zero, nothing will be the same in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl">NHL</a>. No one wants to miss this game, with players pushing through the pain. However, one of Matthew Tkachuk’s star teammates on the American roster may be trending toward inactivity for the decisive matchup.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/matthew-tkachuk">Matthew Tkachuk</a> will need to keep his head on a swivel in the championship game against the True North. The Florida Panthers star made his presence felt in the first meeting between these teams, and Team Canada will do everything they can to keep him in check this time.



The Stars and Stripes took a major hit as defenseman Charlie McAvoy was ruled out for the 4 Nations Final against Canada. Yet, the bad news may not end there—another star could be sidelined as well.



As Team USA took the ice for practice, emotions were mixed. The roster welcomed Matthew Tkachuk back after he missed the game against Sweden, but his brother, Brady Tkachuk, was absent. His absence raised eyebrows, as he now has just one day to recover before the Final against Team Canada.

“Brady Tkachuk not on the ice for practice for Team USA,” NHL insider Pierre LeBrun reported on his X account. “Kyle Connor has a white practice jersey reserved for top 6 forwards.”

<h2>Put on notice</h2>



Team Canada took notice of Tkachuk’s participation in the Americans’ practice, as the forward is on the sight of every player on the Canadian side. Ahead of the game, Canada’s Drew Doughty sent a bold warning to the older Tkachuk brother.



“I’ll do anything for my country,” Doughty firmly stated when asked whether he’d fight Tkachuk during the Final, per NHL on TNT. “If the time is right and I’ve got a go at him, I guess so.”

<h2>Quinn Hughes on the way?</h2>



Buzz has been building around Vancouver Canucks defenseman Quinn Hughes, who initially missed the action due to injury but was considered as a potential replacement for Charlie McAvoy. However, that possibility now seems to be fading after the latest reports.

“[Hughes] had just traveled to Vancouver and won’t make another cross-continent trip to Boston unless he’s going to play,” reporter Emily Kaplan stated on his X account. “He plans on skating in Van again today.”

Matthew Tkachuk, Team USA learn very concerning news on star teammate ahead of 4 Nations Final - Bolavip US

miniaturas

Next Thursday Team USA and Team Canada will meet again in the final of the Four Nations Face-Off. The two teams met last Saturday with the Americans winning 3-1. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl">NHL</a> star Matthew Tkachuk missed the last game with an injury, and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brady-tkachuk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Brady Tkachuk</a> responded when asked if his brother would be on the ice.



During the 2025 Four Nations Face-Off, the Tkachuk brothers had outstanding performances for Team USA, which won two games and lost to Team Sweden on the third day of the round robin. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/matthew-tkachuk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Matthew</a> finished with 3 points on 2 goals and an assist.



There is no doubt that the contributions of the two brothers are fundamental to Team USA, so Matthew’s potential absence due to injury has fans on edge ahead of what promises to be an intense rivalry on the ice, with several stars from both sides coming together.



<h2>Brady Tkachuk’s 6-word message on Matthew Tkachuk’s injury</h2>



“I don’t want to spoil it, but no,” Brady said. “He wouldn’t miss a game like that, ever,” he explained, according to Jameson Olive on his X account (formerly Twitter). Tkachuk’s information clears up doubts about the status of his brother Matthew’s injury.

<h2>What was Matthew Tkachuk’s injury?</h2>



Matthew asked to leave early in the third period of Saturday night’s game against Team Canada. His condition was initially unclear, but a few hours later it was confirmed to be a lower-body injury. Head coach Mike Sullivan indicated that the news should be treated with caution, but the Florida Panthers forward wouldn’t miss the final for anything in the world.

<h2>Matthew Tkachuk’s blunt words on the Four Nations Final</h2>



Before Saturday’s game, Tkachuk said he had waited nine years for this game. Now, on the eve of the final, he took the opportunity to send a strong message about the game against Team Canada. “Stanley Cup, Game 7 aside, this is probably the biggest game we’ve all played up until this point. 



“We have 23 guys who will do everything they can for this game on Thursday. We are so excited about this opportunity and very thankful we have this chance at home to play our biggest rival. It doesn’t matter what happened on Saturday, it’s a fresh start on Thursday, and we can’t wait,” Tkachuk said.

NHL News: Brady Tkachuk sends 7-word message on Matthew Tkachuk's possible absence in Four Nations Final - Bolavip US

Ahead of Thursday night’s marquee matchup, NHL icon Keith Tkachuk—the father of Team USA’s Tasmanian devils, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/matthew-tkachuk">Matthew Tkachuk</a> and Brady Tkachuk—delivered a bold message about his sons’ performance in the NHL’s international tournament. While praising their hard-nosed playstyle, his words also carried a subtle warning for Team Canada.



Keith Tkachuk had a remarkable <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl">NHL</a> career, despite failing to hoist the Stanley Cup. He played in 1,201 games, registering 538 goals, 527 assists for a grand total of 1,065 points. His sons have taken up from his playstyle, not shying away from laying the body, and focusing on the overall success, rather than their individual’s accolades.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brady-tkachuk">Brady </a>and Matthew showcased just that during the USA’s statement victory in Montreal over Canada, and Keith was left amazed by the overall effort from the team.



The Tkachuk brothers posed an unsolved problem for Canada and will be a major headache for Jon Cooper’s squad when the teams meet again on Feb. 20. While Matthew is dealing with an injury, Brady is confident his brother will be ready when the puck drops Thursday night. If the siblings are at full capacity, Canada could find itself in serious trouble—just as Keith Tkachuk suggested.

“Those two are lunatics,” Keith said about his sons, via NHL.com. “I don’t know what to tell you. They’re great kids off the ice, but on the ice, you know, they’re funny. I love the personality. I think it’s great. 


 

 

 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nhl/team-usa-star-brady-tkachuk-makes-revealing-admission-on-brother-matthews-injury-status"></div>


“[Matthew and Brady] love their country, and this is the first time they get to play together. They knew the magnitude of this game. It wasn’t an exhibition game. It was the real thing. And I’m proud of them. They’re always team-first guys. It was great for the crowd, it was great for the game, and it was great for USA.”



<h2>Making Dad proud</h2>



Keith Tkachuk was a key part of Team USA 1996 World Cup of Hockey title, scoring six points (5G, 1A) in five games, and having an unmeasurable impact every time he was on the ice. Keith didn’t shy away from the aggressive side of the sport, and he displayed it when Canada and the USA met, as he fought Claude Lemieux. USA went on to win 5-3, then.



Brady and Matthew followed their father’s steps, after dropping the gloves within the opening seconds of their meeting against Canada, setting the tone for their teammates.

<h2>The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree</h2>



The similarities between the father and sons are ever present, even on their statements. “It just felt right. We were always the little brother to Canada, so we wanted to make our mark,“ Keith admitted about his fight during the USA’s matchup with Canada during the ’96 World Cup of Hockey.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nhl/nathan-mackinnon-makes-something-clear-to-matthew-tkachuk-team-usa-with-big-warning-ahead-of-championship-game"></div>


“I think the message we wanted to send is ‘It’s our time,’” Matthew Tkachuk stated postgame, via NHL.com. “We’re in a hostile environment, and we wanted to show that we’re not backing down. They’ve had so much success over so many years over there. They’re some of the best players in the world. We felt in this environment it was a good time to do it. It was a lot of fun.“



The job is not finished yet. Brady and Matthew Tkachuk now face an even bigger test as they prepare for a high-stakes showdown with Canada—this time, it’s for all the marbles. The Canadians will be hungry for revenge as they step into a packed TD Garden, but it’s Team USA’s mission to stand their ground and keep the Four Nations trophy on American soil.

NHL icon Keith Tkachuk drops subtle warning at Canada about sons Matthew and Brady ahead of title game - Bolavip US

The brother-duo of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/matthew-tkachuk">Matthew Tkachuk</a> and Brady Tkachuk has completely taken over the NHL‘s Four Nations Face-Off. After the big 3-1 win over Canada, Team USA had its celebration put on stand-by as Matthew Tkachuk was unable to play the game. Ahead of the Championship Game, Brady issued an eye-opening comment on his brother’s injury.



The Tkachuk brothers have combined for 5 points through the first two games of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl">NHL</a>‘s international contest. Along with their spectacular participation on the scoreboard for the red, white, and blue, the two have grabbed the spotlight with their unparalleled, gritty and hard-hitting style. 



During the Americans clash with their neighbors from the North, Matthew and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brady-tkachuk">Brady</a> kickstarted the action with intense fistfights in the opening seconds of the game. The brothers set the tone early, and the United States would build off of it, en route to the 3-1 triumph.



Matthew, however, paid the price for the intense duel with Team Canada, and was physically unable to return to the ice late in the third period. Due to his injury, the older Tkachuk brother won’t dress for Team USA during their matchup with Sweden in the last game of Round Robin.

“He’ll be good to go for Thursday,” Brady Tkachuk said, via The Athletic. “Smart for him to rest up, knowing we’re already in for Thursday. He’ll be good to go.”



<h2>More than a game of hockey</h2>



Tension could be cut with a knife when Canada and USA met on the ice at Bell Centre, as both teams knew what was at stake. After the USA’s victory, the visiting team clinched its spot in the Final, which will be held on American soil on February 20.

Both sides left it all on the ice, with players willing to answer the bell for their teammates. Team Canada forward Brandon Hagel dropped the gloves against Matthew Tkachuk, and held his ground in what many believed to be an unfair matchup with the Florida Panthers’ star.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nhl/team-canadas-brandon-hagel-takes-dig-at-matthew-tkachuk-after-fight-during-loss-vs-usa"></div>


“Just trying to get some energy in the building, [Tkachuk] asked and I’m not backing down from him,” Hagel stated, with a dig at Tkachuk during an interview on Sportsnet. “I think me and him have a pretty good history, just going back and forth throughout the season…Long time coming.”



Hagel’s comments may be brought back onto the light as the USA and Canada will meet again, during the Championship Game, though this time the Americans will play in their barn.
