The Cale Makar watch is on. As of this morning, there was no indication if the superstar defenseman would play after he missed the last game with an illness. It’s a huge game for Canada, which needs to win in regulation to be assured a spot in the final game against the U.S. If this game goes to OT, then neither team is assured a spot and must wait for the result of U.S.-Sweden tonight.
Also, in case you missed it, Thomas Harley, who joined Canada to give it six defensemen when Makar missed the U.S. game (Shea Theodore is already out), so it’s possible he plays today and someone else sits, even if Makar plays.
Anyway, here is a refresher of what is at stake today:
Canada will clinch a berth in the 4 Nations Face-Off final:
If it defeats Finland in regulation OR if it defeats Finland in overtime or shootout AND any result of United States-Sweden other than a regulation win by Sweden
Finland will clinch a berth in the 4 Nations Face-Off final:
If it defeats Canada in regulation OR if it defeats Canada in overtime or shootout AND any result of U.S.-Sweden other than a regulation win by Sweden
Sweden will clinch a berth in the 4 Nations Face-Off final:
If it defeats the U.S. in regulation AND the Canada-Finland game is decided in overtime or shootout.
