World Cup game day preview: Three games kick off pre-tournament action

Today's games take place in Europe and Canada.

Sweden at Finland

At noon today, Toronto time, Finland hosts their friendly neighbours Sweden at Hartwall arena, home of Kasperi Kapanen's WJC triumph.

Finland is putting Pekka Rinne in net to face Jacob Markström, who has Toronto's Jhonas Enroth backing him up while Henrik Lundqvist enjoys the press box. Lundqvist will start in net in the return match of this mini-series in his home arena in Gothenburg on Saturday.

Sweden is also scratching Hampus Lindholm and Mikael Backlund both of whom were last minute additions to the team to replace injured players.
