What are the stakes tonight?
"They're huge," said Team Canada centre Alex Newhook. "We know what's on the line. We know the opponent we're playing is a really good opponent and they've had a good tournament so far. We'll have to bring our A game if we want to take the group."
A win and Canada takes top spot in Group A and faces the Czech Republic, fourth place in Group B, on Saturday. A loss leads to a knockout-stage date with either the United States or Sweden.
Team Canada spent one hour and 15 minutes on the ice yesterday, but after only 30 minutes of drills Andre Tourigny allowed his players to work on individual skills and have some fun. The coach said most of the adjustments at this stage of the tournament will be made through video sessions and chats with players.
