BOSTON — When the puck drops on the championship game of the 4 Nations Face-Off, the United States will have its full complement of forwards, with Auston Matthews, Matthew Tkachuk and Brady Tkachuk all expected to play against Canada at TD Garden on Thursday (8 p.m. ET; ESPN+, ESPN, Disney+, SN, TVAS).

Matthews and Matthew Tkachuk were both held out of the U.S. game against Sweden on Monday, and Brady Tkachuk was injured in the first period and did not play the rest of the game. Brady was back on the ice for the United States’ morning skate Thursday, but Matthews, Matthews Tkachuk, Chris Kreider and Jack Eichel were not.

Coach Mike Sullivan said the team is healthy with the exception of defenseman Charlie McAvoy, but that the roster would be a game-time decision.

McAvoy, the Boston Bruins defenseman, was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital on Monday after sustaining an injury to his right shoulder acromioclavicular joint in the game against Finland on Feb. 13. He was later diagnosed as having an infection in the shoulder and a “significant injury to his AC joint,” according to a statement by Bruins head team physician Peter Asnis. McAvoy was released from the hospital on Thursday.

Having both Tkachuks and Matthews will be significant for the U.S. in the final.

“Brady and Matthew, first and foremost, are really good hockey players,” Sullivan said Wednesday. “And they’ve been a big part of the success that we’ve enjoyed to this point in this tournament. I also think they have the ability through their personality to give our team a whole lot of confidence and swagger.

“I know what this tournament means to them personally and how important it is to put our best game on the ice. So I know they’re excited to play. They’re excited for this opportunity. It’s an unbelievable opportunity. This is as good as it gets with respect to best-on-best.”
