After Mike Sullivan of Team USA, it was Jon Cooper's turn to step up to the press conference and answer questions. While Sullivan was more evasive about his lineup, Cooper confirmed an interesting change.
While the United States is still undecided on some major roster issues:
Canada has already made its decisions and announced its official lineup.

What a story!
It is now official that Seth Jarvis of the Carolina Hurricanes will replace Travis Konecny of the Philadelphia Flyers.
In 49 games this season with the Canes, Jarvis has recorded 45 points, including 22 goals. Meanwhile, Konecny leads the Flyers with 61 points in 57 games.
Additionally, unsurprisingly, goaltender Jordan Binnington will be back in net for Canada and will have the opportunity to get his revenge against Team USA, barring any major last-minute surprises.
In the first matchup last Saturday, he allowed two goals on 22 shots.
He appears to have the full confidence of his team and head coach Jon Cooper.
