The latest instalment in the storied sports rivalry between Canada and the U.S.A. is set for Thursday night in Montreal at the world junior hockey championship.
The U.S. beat Canada 3-1 in the preliminary round, the Canucks’ lone loss of the event. Canada won gold in 2015 in Toronto, but settled for a sixth-place result last year in Helsinki.
Three Calgary Flames prospects are playing in the gold medal meeting: American goalie Tyler Parsons, American blueliner Adam Fox and Canadian forward Dillon Dube.
Carter Hart will start in goal for Canada.
Puck drop from Montreal’s Bell Centre is 6 p.m. MT. You’ll be able to hear all the action on our sister station, Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
