Thursday night's USA-Canada championship game at the 4 Nations Face-Off showed viewers' appetite for best-on-best international hockey. ESPN said the game, which Canada won 3-2 in overtime on a goal by Edmonton Oilers star Connor McDavid, averaged 9.3 million viewers, its biggest hockey audience ever. It peaked at 10.4 million.

It's been quite a week for United States forward Brady Tkachuk. Tkachuk suffered an undisclosed injury in the first period of Monday's game against Sweden, and ultimately didn't return to the contest.
