According to NHL insider Elliotte Friedman, Team Canada will scratch goaltender Darcy Kuemper, defenseman Travis Sanheim and forward Seth Jarvis for today's tournament opening game vs Czechia.

From Friedman:

Friedman doesn't mention it in his report but defenseman Thomas Harley and forward Sam Bennett are also expected to be scratched for today's game.

This reporting seems to be in line with reports from earlier this week that gave us a sneak preview of Canada's roster and revealed that Jordan Binnington would get the start in goal.

Here's how the squad is expected to line up today:


Forwards
Celebrini - McDavid - Wilson
Hagel - MacKinnon - Reinhart
Marner - Crosby - Stone
Marchand - Horvat - Suzuki

Defense
Makar - Toews
Morrissey - Parayko
