Jon Cooper has announced that goaltender Jordan Binnington will once again be the starter for Canada's crucial must-win game against Team Finland today.

Despite the fact that many fans were displeased with Jordan Binnington's performance over the first two games for Team Canada, Jon Cooper has decided to throw him right back in the mix today against Team Finland.
This is a must-win game for Canada, as any type of loss would officially eliminate them from heading to the finals.
A regulation win for Canada automatically sends them to face the USA in the final game on Thursday. Any type of overtime or shootout win means they would have to hope Sweden doesn't win in regulation tonight against the Americans.
Over his first two starts of the tournament, Binnington had a .896 save percentage, which is good for second among the six goaltenders who have played at the 4 Nations and behind only the USA's Connor Hellebuyck who has a stellar .957%.
In the Feb. 15 game against Team USA, Binnington stopped 20 out of 22 shots in the loss and also recorded an assist. This was after he made 23 saves on 26 shots against Team Sweden in Canada's thrilling 4-3 overtime win.
Adin Hill will likely be the backup for today's game, with Samuel Montembault once again sitting in the press box as a healthy scratch.
