Canada's game against the United States at the 4 Nations Face-Off started with plenty of fireworks Saturday.

The highly anticipated game Saturday night between the United States and Canada at the 4 Nations Face-Off started with three fights in the first nine seconds.

Matthew Tkachuk and Brandon Hagel dropped the gloves just after the puck was dropped to start play. Brady Tkachuk fought Sam Bennett immediately off the ensuing faceoff. And J.T. Miller and Colton Parayko went at it after some pushing and shoving around Canada goaltender Jordan Binnington after he covered the puck.

Canada got a power play out of the third fight, with Miller penalized for cross-checking as well as fighting.

It all happened after a large percentage of the sellout crowd at Bell Centre loudly booed the U.S. anthem. Fans lined up by the hundreds to get into the arena more than 90 minutes before start time and also booed every time a U.S. player was shown on video screens during pregame warmups.

Canada is without all-star defenceman Cale Makar who was ruled out of the game late Saturday with an illness.

Thomas Harley was added to the Canadian roster. Makar remains eligible for the rest of the tournament.

Finland beat Sweden 4-3 in OT earlier Saturday.

Canada opened the event Wednesday with a 4-3 victory overtime victory against Sweden while the U.S. topped Finland 6-1 on Thursday.

The 4 Nations shifts to Boston for a pair of round-robin games Monday before next Thursday’s final.

The Mooseheads fell to the Wildcats after travelling up to the Avenir Centre on Saturday evening, losing 3-1 in Jacob Steinman’s return to Moncton.

The teams exchanged goals in the opening frame. Moncton struck first just 14 seconds into the game as Markus Vidicek capitalized on a rebound off Maxime Côté’s chance in close to give the Wildcats the early lead. The Mooseheads answered back 7:32 into the first as Will Bent redirected a pass from Carlos Handel past the pad of Wildcats netminder Rudy Guimond.

The second period remained scoreless but 9:06 into the third period Caleb Desnoyers found Adam Fortier-Gendron off the draw, who fired it past Steinman to regain the lead for the Wildcats. Côté scored the insurance marker for the Wildcats burying a feed by Juraj Pekarcik.

With the loss the Herd fall to 17-28-7 while the Wildcats remain atop the standings of the QMJHL, improving to 40-9-2.

Maxime Côté earned first star for the Wildcats tallying a goal and assist in the Wildcats win. Second star went to Mooseheads netminder Jacob Steinman after making 48 saves against his old club, while third star went to former Moosehead Markus Vidicek.
