Canada coach Steve Spott will have a different look to his top-six forward group for Saturday's bronze-medal game (4 a.m. ET, NHLN-US, TSN) against Russia.
Ty Rattie, who scored Canada's only goal in its semifinal loss to the United States, will start at right wing on the top line, replacing Mark Scheifele. Scheifele takes Rattie's spot on the second line.
Canada also will have just six defensemen as Griffin Reinhart begins serving his four-game suspension.
Here is the roster Canada will go with, as well as the lineup for host Russia:
CANADA
Jonathan Huberdeau - Ryan Nugent-Hopkins - Ty Rattie
Jonathan Drouin - Ryan Strome - Mark Scheifele
Phillip Danault - Boone Jenner - Brett Ritchie
Anthony Camara - Mark McNeill - Nathan MacKinnon
Scott Harrington - Dougie Hamilton
Tyler Wotherspoon - Xavier Ouellet
Jordan Binnington will start in goal, with Malcolm Subban the backup.
RUSSIA
Nail Yakupov - Alexander Khokhlachev - Kirill Kapustin
Anton Slepyshev - Mikhail Grigorenko - Nikita Kucherov
Valeri Nichushkin - Vladimir Tkachev - Yaroslav Kosov
Daniil Zharkov - Yevgeni Mozer - Maxim Shalunov
Andrei Sigarev
Albert Yarullin - Nikita Nesterov
Kirill Dyakov - Yaroslav Dyblenko
Andrei Mironov - Pavel Koledov
Andrey Makarov will start in goal, with Igor Ustinski serving as the backup.
