2016 World Cup: Team Finland vs. Team Russia game thread, schedules, lines, and how to watch
Finland has a chance to play spoiler for the Russians today.
The 2016 World Cup of Hockey is over for Finland. They will not advance past the group stage, but they’re probably still going to get up for this game with a chip on their shoulder.
Russia needs to beat Finland in order to advance themselves, and if they don’t, the North America young stars will advance in their place. Finland has the chance to play spoiler, Russia is fighting to stay alive, so it should be an interesting matchup.
Sergei Bobrovsky should get the start for Russia, while Pekka Rinne is expected to go for Finland.
The puck drops at 3:00 PM EST, at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Ontario.
