Today they're playing in Prague, and Team Czech has a lot to prove to its hometown crowd. Can they take advantage of the relative weakness of Russia's D, while also shoring up their own relatively weak D? They were just about able to last Thursday, but were outscored by a frankly ridiculous corps of Russian forwards. One impediment is the fact that Czech forward Vladimir Sobotka was injured. They lack an extra F, so they'll play an 11/7 split with the D, cycling forwards alongside the three centers Thomas Plekanec, Martin Hanzal, and Radek Faksa. Michal Neuvirth starts in goal for the Czechs. (Go team Czech!) **NHL preview**: [http://ice.wch2016.com/preview?id=2016080105](http://ice.wch2016.com/preview?id=2016080105&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) **Russian Lines:** > Team Russia lines: Ovechkin-Kuznetsov-Kucherov; Kulemin-Malkin-Tarasenko; Panarin-Shipachyov-Dadonov; Telegin-Anisimov-Namestnikov. > > — Tom Gulitti (@TomGulittiNHL) [September 10, 2016](https://twitter.com/TomGulittiNHL/status/774610302797316096?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > Team Russia D pairs: Orlov-Zaitsev; Nesterov-Emelin; Kulikov-Marchenko.

In these tournaments, it seems like possession-style hockey is benched in favor of a style meant to lull rusty goaltenders into a false sense of security before darting out to send a puck past them. We'll see if starter Henrik Lundqvist is daydreaming today when he plays in his hometown. Tukka Rask starts in goal for Finland. [Markus Krueger was injured](http://www.secondcityhockey.com/2016/9/9/12866038/marcus-kruger-injury-world-cup-sweden-finland?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), and is today's scratch for Sweden. **NHL preview**: [http://ice.wch2016.com/preview?id=2016080106](http://ice.wch2016.com/preview?id=2016080106&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) **Finnish Lines:** Jussi Jokinen - Aleksander Barkov - Patrik Laine Mikael Granlund - Mikko Koivu - Joonas Donskoi Teuvo Teravainen - Valtteri Filppula - Jori Lehtera Leo Komarov - Erik Haula - Lauri Korpikoski Rasmus Ristolainen - Olli Maatta Sami Vatanen - Jyrki Jokipakka Esa Lindell - Ville Pokka Tuukka Rask Pekka Rinne **Swedish Lines:** Daniel Sedin - Henrik Sedin - Loui Eriksson Filip Forsberg - Nicklas Backstrom - Patric Hornqvist Carl Hagelin - Mikael Backlund - Jakob Silfverberg Gabriel Landeskog - Carl Soderberg - Rickard Rakell Hampus Lindholm - Erik Karlsson Victor Hedman - Anton Stralman Oliver Ekman-Larson - Niklas Hjalmarsson Henrik Lundqvist Jacob Markstrom > Tukka Rask being interviewed after practice.Rask starts the game vs Sweden tonight [#WCOH2016](https://twitter.com/hashtag/WCOH2016?src=hash&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) [pic.twitter.com/tIKN2O0swm](https://t.co/tIKN2O0swm?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Patrik Bexell (@Zeb\_Habs) [September 10, 2016](https://twitter.com/Zeb%5FHabs/status/774589190038233088?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) #### USA vs. Canada **When/Where**: 7:00PM Eastern, Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa **How to Watch**: ESPN3, SN1, TVAS2 **What to watch for:** El Seldo wrote a recap of yesterday's game [over here](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/world-cup-of-hockey-recap-canada-2-usa-4/), emphasizing the fact that while Canada played a skilled possession game, the Clint Eastwood-fueled US decided to play dirty. Whatever, it's time to take your nation's game back, Canada. ![](https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/83/62/9c/83629c38477b4d8e75d9a3414137b12f.jpg) **NHL preview**: [http://ice.wch2016.com/preview?id=2016080107](http://ice.wch2016.com/preview?id=2016080107&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)
