McDavid and Virtanen are due for a break out and this is the likeliest game for that to happen. They've not had magical chemistry but they've had a number of great chances each game. They have a good goaltender, but it's not on par with Finland or USA, so some of those should start hitting the back of the net.

As mentioned already, shutdown their top line, stay disciplined and it should be an easy win. I can't see it being too difficult for Domi-Reinhart-Duclair-Nurse-Theodore, who did a masterful job against the Eichel line. They're a hard working team with a good goaltender so I don't necessarily think it will be a cakewalk.

I think the Petan line lights it up. It would be nice if Ehlers gets destroyed, but I think Canada takes it easy on him and makes him a non-factor except for a shift or two.

Then the commentary as he looks expressionless on the bench will be how he did nothing tonight, but he'll be a great Jet for 20 years.
