Team Canada practiced in Finland on Friday ahead of their pre-tournament game against Belarus on Saturday.
Mason McDonald will get the start in net for Canada with Samuel Montembeault expected to see some action as well.
It appears head coach Dave Lowry will dress eight defencemen with Travis Sanheim, who was the ninth blueliner in practice, the possible scratch. Travis Dermott, who had been the extra defenceman on Thursday, moved up to play with Brandon Hickey.
Anthony Beauvillier was back at centre at practice, skating on a line with John Quenneville and Julien Gauthier.
