SOCHI, Russia – Carey Price will start in goal for Team Canada in the final game of the preliminary round against Finland.

Price stopped 19 of 20 shots against Norway. Roberto Luongo, who shut out Austria, will be the backup.

Martin St. Louis takes his turn as the healthy scratch forward as Patrick Sharp rejoins the lineup.

P.K. Subban sits on defence with Dan Hamhuis back in.

Pittsburgh Penguins linemates Sidney Crosby and Chris Kunitz will be split up for the game.

Instead, Crosby will work with wingers Jamie Benn and Patrice Bergeron.

Canada wins group B by beating Finland and can clinch the top seed in the quarter-finals with a regulation victory.
