MOOSEHEADS TO BATTLE?
Nikolaj Ehlers might be shooting against his former teammate Zach Fucale on Friday in Denmark's first ever quarter final match-up. Though it has not been announced yet who will start for Team Canada in tomorrow's game, it is thought to be Fucale after he has allowed only 1 goal in his 2 preliminary starts this year.
