The NHL 4 Nations Face-Off rosters for Team USA, Canada, Finland and Sweden originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia

Instead of holding an All-Star Game, the NHL this month will showcase some of its top talent in a much more competitive setting.

The league is conducting the 4 Nations Face-Off, a midseason international tournament featuring four of the world’s top hockey powerhouses.

The countries competing are Canada, Finland, Sweden and the United States — and the teams are comprised of only NHL players. The 4 Nations Face-Off, scheduled for Feb. 12-20, will be the first best-on-best international hockey tournament since the 2016 World Cup of Hockey.

Canada’s Sidney Crosby, Finland’s Aleksander Barkov, Sweden’s Victor Hedman and Team USA’s Auston Matthews are serving as captains for their respective countries. And each of those stars will be playing alongside several big names.

From MVPs to Stanley Cup champions and more, here’s a look at all of the players competing in the 4 Nations Face-Off:
