Canada will face its toughest test today, as they take on a team littered with quality prospects. It'll be Canada's last chance to create chemistry, and apply adjustments before the tournament officially gets going. Following a dominant win versus Belarus, and a shutout against the Czechs, this will be the defending champions' toughest test to date.
Sweden possesses such players as the Nylander brothers, Joel Eriksson Ek, Adrian Kempe, Carl Grundstrom, and more. They also have a Montreal Canadiens prospect in the mix, Lukas Vejdemo. He's mostly played on Sweden's fourth line, and we're yet to see whether or not he'll make the final cut. A strong game from Vejdemo against a powerhouse like Canada would go a long way in solidifying a spot in the lineup.
You can watch the game on TSN1, TSN3, TSN4, TSN5, RDS, or streaming on TSN GO. You can listen to the game on the TSN radio network.
Puck drop is at 12:00 PM EST / 10:00 AM PST.
