If you`re going to miss a game in this series, this may be the one. It doesn`t promise to be much of a match other than Canada running up it`s point differential. Keeping in mind that`s what we said against the Swiss a couple years ago when they beat us.
As per TSN
Canada can take another step toward winning Group B and earning a bye to the semi-finals when they face Norway tonight in Buffalo at the World Junior Hockey Championship.
You can catch all the action on TSN, TSN.ca, and TSN Mobile apps with coverage beginning at 7pm et/4pm pt. You can also participate in a live blog beginning at 7:30pm et/4:30pm pt.
Canada (2-0) has six points after wins over Russia and the Czech Republic and is tied with Sweden for top spot in the group. Norway (0-2) is making its first appearance in the tournament since 2006 and has lost 15 straight games at the event.
Canadian forward Zack Kassian is suspended for two games after he received a match penalty for a high hit on Czech defenceman Petr Senkerik during Tuesday's game. Kassian will miss the Norway game tonight as well as Canada's round-robin finale against Sweden on Friday. The 19-year-old will be eligible to return to the line-up for the medal round games on the weekend.
Team Canada head coach Dave Cameron said on Wednesday that Jaden Schwartz is a longshot to play tonight, while defenceman Calvin De Haan has a more realistic chance to get into the line-up. De Haan left the game against the Czech Republic early in the second period with an apparent leg injury. He limped to the bench and did not return to the game. Schwartz appeared to suffer a lower-body injury in the first period on Tuesday, but remained in the game and scored a goal.
After Olivier Roy earned victories in the first two games of the tournament, Canadian back-up goalie Mark Visentin of the OHL's Niagara IceDogs will see his first game action against Norway.
Should Canada and Sweden both win their next games, then their head-to-head battle on Friday will decide Group B. The winner of the group will advance directly to Monday's semi-final round, while the second and third-place finishers in the group will have to play a quarter-final game on Sunday.
Friday's Canada-Sweden match-up will be available on TSN, TSN.ca, and TSN Mobile apps at 3:30pm et/12:30 pm pt.
