Team Canada will be without leading scorer Anthony Mantha Thursday as they take on Switzerland in the quarterfinal of the IIHF World Championship.
His teammate from the Detroit Red Wings, Tyler Bertuzzi, will draw in on the fourth line against a Swiss squad that knocked Canada out last year in Denmark. Mantha was suspended one game by an IIHF disciplinary committee for his hit on Colin White of Team USA during Tuesday's matchup.
