Status report
If Makar can’t play, Harley will play his second game. He was added to Canada’s roster to replace Theodore, who sustained a tournament-ending lower-body injury against Sweden on Wednesday. If Makar does play, Harley is eligible to remain in the lineup. … Kakko is expected to start on the top line with Barkov and Rantanen after he replaced Lehkonen in that spot in the second period of Finland’s win against Sweden on Saturday. … Konecny, a forward, could be a healthy scratch for a second straight game. He played in the tournament opener against Sweden but was replaced by Bennett in the game against the U.S.
