The other three Panthers prospects left in the tournament will be in action in the late game that will see Spencer Knight in goal for the United States while Anton Lundell and Kasper Puutio will suit up for Finland.
Knight has rebounded from a poor opening game against the Russians and is now 3-1 with a 1.70 GAA, .924 save percentage and two shutouts.
