Jon Cooper and Team Canada Seem to Have Chosen Their Starter for Do-or-Die Game
Once again, one of the biggest questions among Team Canada fans is the identity of the starting goaltender for the next game.
Will the management stick with Jordan Binnington, who has been shaky in the first two games of the Four Nations Faceoff and allowed a few bad goals, or will they give an opportunity to Adin Hill or Samuel Montembeault?
One thing is certain, just hours before tomorrow afternoon's crucial game against Finland, the decision has already been made.
- Jon Cooper does not want to reveal the goaltender he has chosen to face Finland, but he has made his decision.
The decision has been made, but it has not yet been announced.
However, we can give you a big clue.
All signs point to Jordan Binnington returning as Canada's goaltender against Finland tomorrow
This was reported by Sportsnet journalist Eric Engels:
"Adin Hill skated today just in case his name is called.
He doesn't know yet if that will be the case."

We are closely monitoring this for you.
- Elliotte Friedman
In any case, it really looks like Jon Cooper is going "ALL IN" with Jordan Binnington.
At 31 years old, standing 6-foot-2 and weighing 172 pounds, Binnington stopped 20 of the 22 shots he faced last night against the United States.
With the St. Louis Blues this season, he has a record of 15-19-4, a goals-against average of 2.89, and a save percentage of .897.
