The United States is the new favorite to win the 4-Nations Face-Off following their dominant 6-1 win over Finland on Thursday night.
The victory - powered by two goals a piece from brothers Brady and Matthew Tkachuk - lifted the Americans above Canada in the tournament standings and in the outright matket.
USA is now +100 to win the 4-Nations Face-Off, with Canada close behind at +145. The two teams will face off in a crucial clash on Saturday night.
Canada got out to a red-hot start against Sweden on Wednesday when Nathan MacKinnon scored just 56 seconds into the game, but later needed a Mitch Marner overtime winner to slip past the Swedes 4-3.
Sweden is third in the betting at +650, with Finland a longer shot at +2500. The two Scandinavian nations will face off on Saturday afternoon in a must-win game if either is to advance to the tournament final on Thursday, February 20.
