Matthew and Brady Tkachuk and J.T. Miller discussed in a group chat the three fights they ended up getting into in the first nine seconds of Team USA’s win over Canada during the teams’ first matchup in the 4 Nations Face-Off. The Tkachuks’ family members were not privy to their plans, however.

Matthew and Brady Tkachuk have been playing against one another in the NHL since the latter was drafted in 2018. Their father, Keith, played in the NHL for 18 years, retiring in 2010, and never was able to hoist the Stanley Cup.

Jack Eichel-Matthew Tkachuk line was a force for the USA at the Four Nations, and now the former has revealed how it all came together.
