The United States and Canada have met at least once in each of the last seven World Junior Championship events.
Among the 14 games since 2000, nine have been decided by one goal, five have gone to overtime, and two have ended in shootouts. There was a 1-1 tie in overtime in 2000.
Here are the lineups in advance of Sunday's anticipated matchup between Canada and the United States at the 2013 IIHF World Junior Championship in Ufa, Russia.
Canada lineup:
Jonathan Huberdeau - Ryan Nugent-Hopkins - Mark Scheifele
Jonathan Drouin-Ryan Strome-Nathan MacKinnon
Phillip Danault - Mark McNeill - Ty Rattie
Anthony Camara - Brett Ritchie
Scott Harrington - Dougie Hamilton
Xavier Ouellet-Griffin Reinhart
Morgan Rielly-Tyler Wotherspoon
Malcolm Subban will get the start in goal; Jordan Binnington will serve as backup.
Canada will have just 11 forwards available against the U.S., as both J.C. Lipon and Boone Jenner will be serving suspensions. Sunday is the final game of Jenner's three-game suspension for a hit in a pre-tournament game against Sweden. Lipon was handed a one-game suspension for a high hit on Slovakia's Tomas Mikus on Friday.
USA lineup:
John Gaudreau - J.T. Miller - Rocco Grimaldi
Alex Galchenyuk - Sean Kuraly - Riley Barber
