Canada faces the Czech Republic for game 2. The Czechs finished 7th in last year’s tournament and won their first Preliminary Round game of the tournament (2-0 over Norway) on Monday. Canada also won their opener, a 6-3 victory over the Russians.
Olivier Roy will get the start again in goal for this game. He got appeared to get off to a tough start, but was pretty solid when the Canadians needed him to be, and made 24 saves on the night. With how well Visentin had played in the pre-competition, it is good to see them giving Roy a nod of confidence. Visentin didn’t face as tough a competition as Roy, but he was quite good in net.
Prediction for this game: 7-1 Canada (yah, Canada doesn’t have any offense this year…..)

Visentin starts the next game, vs. Norway. Not calling them a cakewalk or anything, but it’s good to give Visentin some ice time. Definitely is a possibility that Visentin takes over the goaltending job at some point (permanently), so they best keep him fresh.
Kassian has been suspended an extra game for the hit (i.e. 2 games total – tonight and then vs. Sweden). Here is the excerpt from TSN:
