Finland still mum on starting goalie for World Cup of Hockey
TORONTO (AP) Finland coach Lauri Marjamaki still won't name his starting goaltender for the first game of the World Cup of Hockey.
Pekka Rinne of the Nashville Predators appears to be the front-runner to start Sunday against Team North America based on exhibition action, but Tuukka Rask of the Boston Bruins isn't a bad second option.
Rinne says he's preparing to play Sunday but that the coaching staff hasn't told him the plan. He started Finland's final exhibition game Tuesday against the United States and stopped 26 of the 29 shots he faced.
Most teams have their starters figured out by now. Jonathan Quick will be in net for the U.S., Carey Price for Canada, Matt Murray for North America, Jaroslav Halak for Team Europe and Henrik Lundqvist for Sweden.
