Canada beat the United States 3-2 in the 4 Nations Face-Off behind star performances from McDavid and goalie Binnington.

St. Louis Blues goaltender Jordan Binnington stood tall to help Team Canada clinch the 4 Nations Face-Off championship over Team USA, overcoming widespread criticism from doubters throughout the NHL's new midseason tournament.

Binnington, wife of Team Canada and St. Louis Blues goalie Jordan Binnington, gave a loving shoutout after his epic performance vs. USA in the 4 Nations final.

Binnington saved the game multiple times in overtime for Canada, and at the same time quieted the concern over the country's goaltending.

The gold medal dangling around his neck was proof of that as he sat at his postgame press conference Thursday. He’d just backstopped Canada to a 3-2 overtime victory against the United States in the title game of the 4 Nations Face-Off, and he was absorbing all the kudos coming his way.

“That’s what sports are about in some ways,” Binnington said, a gold medal around his neck after 31 stops handed Canada victory over the United States in the 4 Nations final. “And as an athlete and a competitor, there’s always gonna be that doubt. You gotta use that as motivation and find a way and believe in yourself to get the job done.”

Winners earn the label over time and rightly wear it with pride, but how many hockey fans could immediately recite the exact number of National Hockey League victories in which Connor McDavid has played?
