Which NHL teams are sending the most players to Winter Olympics?

When the 4 Nations Face-Off teams were named last year, the Washington Capitals had no representatives.

But every NHL team will have at least one player on the rosters for the 12 countries participating in the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan, Italy.

The Tampa Bay Lightning are sending a league-high 10 players, though Brayden Point and Victor Hedman are currently hurt. The two-time defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers are next with nine players.

The Chicago Blackhawks (Finland’s Teuvo Teravainen) and New York Islanders (Canada’s Bo Horvat) are sending one each while the Capitals have three (Canada’s Tom Wilson and Logan Thompson, plus Slovakia’s Martin Fehervary).
