As the 2025 4 Nations Face-Off approaches, Cale Makar and Devon Toews are eagerly anticipating their role in representing Canada, but they also face the challenging task of going up against their Colorado Avalanche teammate, Artturi Lehkonen. Known for his unpredictable playing style, Lehkonen has consistently been a force for the Avalanche, making him a significant concern for the Canadian defense.

In their first matchup, Canada edged out Sweden in a thrilling 4-3 overtime victory, showcasing the depth of talent they possess. Looking ahead, Makar and Toews are set to skate against a star-studded U.S. squad before facing Lehkonen and Finland in a decisive group stage clash. Despite not being the most publicized player, Lehkonen’s reputation for scoring clutch goals and his ability to thrive in high-pressure situations make him a key player on the ice.
