For U.S. women’s hockey players, there’s no such thing as too many games against their biggest rivals.
The USA and Canada will play each other seven times — and more than likely it will be eight — before they meet in the Olympics in Pyeongchang on Feb. 15. The first of those games in the USA is Wednesday at Agganis Arena in Boston to kick off The Time is Now Tour (7:30 p.m. ET, NHL Network). The Americans beat Canada 5-2 Sunday in Quebec City.
The tour includes the Four Nations Cup, an annual tournament that features the USA, Canada, Finland and Sweden, which will be held in Florida.
