LAKE PLACID, N.Y. -- The final game of this week's national junior evaluation camp features Finland and Sweden getting back injured players.
For Finland, top defenseman Olli Maatta returns to the lineup after missing most of the week with the flu. The Pittsburgh Penguins prospect is paired with Julius Honka, a top prospect for the 2014 NHL Draft.

Also, center Oskar Sundqvist is back in the lineup after missing a few days with a sore neck sustained Monday when he collided with the metal stanchion at the end of the team's bench.
