MINSK, Belarus -- Ben Scrivens will start in goal for Team Canada against Finland today in the quarterfinals of the world hockey championship. You can watch the game live on TSN and TSN GO at 12:45pm et/9:45am pt. Scrivens beat out James Reimer for the No. 1 goaltender job after they split games during the preliminary round. "Tight decision, both of them played well," coach Dave Tippett said Thursday. "Just hes the guy we decided on." Scrivens won all three of his starts at his first international tournament for Canada, putting up a 1.31 goals-against average and a .954 save percentage, second only to Kevin Lalande of Belarus, an Ottawa native. Reimer lost the opener to France in a shootout, won his next three starts and had a 2.20 GAA and .911 save percentage. Tippett hinted earlier in the week at Scrivens being the likely choice after Reimer started against Norway. Canadas coach mentioned the difficult schedule of four games in six days, and Scrivens not facing Norway gave him a chance to be fresh for Finland. Scrivens is now the man, barring injury or a rough outing against Finland that doesnt end Canadas tournament. Tippett said Tuesday that his quarter-final starter would likely continue in that role as long as he won. Canadas challenge, from Scrivens on out, is a Finnish team that has only six players back from the Sochi Olympics but plays a similar style. "Theyre what youd classify as a typical Finland team where work ethic is one of their strongest points," Tippett said. "(They) play well as a team, (have) good structure, dont have a lot of NHL players on it but still players that are committed to play the way Finlands identity is. Its a structured, hard, one-on-one game." Finlands three NHL players are goaltender Pekka Rinne, captain Olli Jokinen and forward Erik Haula, who was a late addition after the Minnesota Wild were eliminated from the Stanley Cup playoffs. One player back from Sochi is Petri Kontiola, who has been Finlands leading scorer and arguably its best player. But Canadas biggest concern against Finland is Rinne, whos now healthy after being out from late October until early March with a hip infection. Nashville Predators teammate Ryan Ellis said he and his Canadian teammates are more worried about keeping the puck away from Rinne behind the net and in the corners than figuring out how to score on him. Rinnes strong play (1.65 GAA, .929 save percentage) has helped a turnover-prone Finnish defence. Still, thats something Canada might be able to exploit with an aggressive forecheck. "Your whole game has got to be built on it," Tippett said. "It doesnt matter who you play, were going to play two things that we think are the strengths of our game and certainly we think forechecking is one of the strengths of our game. "The ability to play in the offensive zone, come up with loose pucks, hold pucks and play in the offensive zone is one of the traits of good, Canadian-style hockey. Whether its Finland or whoever its against, we think thats one of the strengths of our game." Canada will have its full roster for the first time in almost a week as Alex Burrows returns from a two-game absence with a leg injury. Given Jonathan Huberdeaus success on a line with Brayden Schenn and Nathan MacKinnon, Burrows is expected to be the 13th forward. "Hes a good, veteran player," Tippett said of Burrows. "We talk about hes going to see a lot of different situations. Hes played on the penalty kill for us, hes played on the power play and hes played a regular shift, so hell jump in there, hell give us a spark." Defenceman Tyler Myers, who missed Wednesdays practice with the flu, took part in Thursdays optional skate and Tippett said hes feeling much better and will play.

Subban added another — all in a span of 3:53 of the third period — to lead the Montreal Canadiens to a 3-2 comeback victory over the Blue Jackets on Wednesday night.If I go back and think about it, thats got to be one of my favourite games Ive played this year, Pacioretty said.Erasing a 2-0 deficit on the road with 8 1/2 minutes left makes for a memorable game. It was forgettable for the home team.Its just disappointing, Columbus coach Todd Richards said. This one bothers me, the way that we found a way to lose this one.The Canadiens, who mustered just one shot during their first four power plays, scored on each of their last three chances, with five shots. They came in ranked 28th of the 30 NHL teams on the power play.We won a lot of battles, said Brendan Gallagher, who assisted on Paciorettys first goal. And we worked hard.With Matt Calvert off for slashing, Pacioretty took a feed from Gallagher in the high slot, pivoted and whistled a shot past goalie Sergei Bobrovsky with 8:30 remaining. The Canadiens said the puck bounced off a Blue Jackets players stick before finding the net behind Bobrovsky.We knew we needed a bounce to start putting them in on that goalie because he was playing out of his mind, especially early in the game, Pacioretty said.Bobrovsky twice robbed Pacioretty, smothering a backhander and then a point-blank shot from the left doorstep.Just 2:56 after Montreal broke through, this time with Jared Boll off for high sticking, the Canadiens cycled the puck to Subban at the left point. His one-timer — with Bobrovvskys view obstructed by David Desharnais — tied it at 2.ddddddddddddSometimes you need a little bit of luck on your side, Subban said. We got some bounces, but we did a good job of moving the puck and getting into areas where we were going to have success. Hopefully, that continues.Soon after Subbans goal, Brandon Dubinsky was called for boarding.The last (penalty) was not a good one, Richards said.Tomas Plekanecs entry pass was redirected in by Pacioretty from the right hash to give the Canadiens their first lead.They took a lead of two goals, and that was bad for the spirit of our club, Canadiens coach Michel Therrien said. But we made some adjustments with our power play this week. Im glad they paid off.Carey Price made 14 saves, and Andrei Markov had two assists for the Canadiens, who have earned points in eight of nine games and 11 of 13.Ryan Johansens third-period, power-play goal extended his career-best point streak to 11 games and gave Columbus the 2-0 lead. Kevin Connauton scored on the Blue Jackets first shot. Bobrovsky made 28 saves and did everything right until the final 8 1/2 minutes.Our power play was a big topic this week, Pacioretty said. We were talking about it in the media and in the room. We knew we had to get a bounce to get some momentum, and thats what happened. Now the big thing is keeping it going.NOTES: The Blue Jackets scored on their first shot for the second game in a row. ... Desharnais played in his 299th NHL game. ... All three of Morins points this season have come at home. ... Montreal C Manny Malhotra is ninth on the Blue Jackets career points list with 145 in 344 games.___Follow Rusty Miller on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/RustyMillerAP ' ' '
