Four Boston Bruins players will be stepping away from the Bruins organization in February after being announced to the 4 Nations rosters.

In February the Boston Bruins are going to be losing Brad Marchand, Elias Lindholm, Charlie McAvoy, and Jeremy Swayman.

On Wednesday the NHL announced their rosters for the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off tournament that will take place in both Boston and Montreal which will include Canada, Finland, USA, and Sweden, and the Bruins will have four players in the tournament representing their countries.

For Team USA, the Bruins will have Jeremy Swayman and Charlie McAvoy. Canada will see captain Brad Marchand, and Elias Lindholm will be playing for team Sweden.

Four Bruins will take part in the 4 Nations Face-Off:

USA: Charlie McAvoy, Jeremy Swayman
Canada: Brad Marchand
Sweden: Elias Lindholm

There was some speculation that Jeremy Swayman was not going to make Team USA after the horrible start to the year the star goaltender had, but due to his play recently he has earned his spot on the roster.

Swayman since the coaching change has been playing a lot better for the Bruins and has seen an increase in his numbers. He is now up to a 8-9-2 with a 3.03 goals against average and a .893 save percentage.

Under Joe Sacco, the Boston Bruins have improved to 6-2-0 and are in a playoff spot right now as they sit third in the Atlantic Division.

Who will you be cheering for during the 4 Nations tournament?
