World Cup of Hockey: Team USA vs Team Finland, rosters, updated lines, schedule and how to watch
The two hockey powers play their final pre-tournament game tonight. Here's what you need to know.
It will be a battle of styles tonight, as Team USA hosts Team Finland in what will be their last chance to fine tune their strategies ahead of the opening game of the World Cup of Hockey in Toronto.
Finland plays a more refined style, relying on speed and skill, whereas the USA's battle plan clearly relies on being physically dominant.
As for the Habs, they'll have one player in action tonight: Captain Max Pacioretty. Although it must be said, John Tortorella has not been impressed by his performance so far, dropping him from the first line after game one and limiting his minutes in game two.
"He's OK, but I need more out of him. I know how he can play. This is what happens in this type of tournament and the team makeup. You're not going to get your 20 minutes. If other people are going, they tend to take some ice time. All the top players, you look at even Canada's team, your minutes are going to be down."
The puck drops at 7:00 PM EDT, at Verizon Centre in Washington D.C.
