After their win Wednesday, the team flew home, taking the day off Thursday.  On Friday, the team hit the ice, including Joe Thornton; he’ll be a “game time decision” on Saturday.

The Blues headed to Anaheim and faced the Ducks Friday evening, losing 3-4; their six loss in seven games, and 5th straight on the road. Brodeur was in nets. Elliot expected to be in net on Saturday. Schwartz expected to return to lineup from broken foot.

This will be the last (regular season) match up between the two teams.

150102 – WJC Switzerland vs Germany (relegation); QFs – Russia vs USA, Sweden vs Finland

Day 8 – end of the preliminary round robin.  Now it’s win (or go home) in the QFs; and in relegation, an attempt to stay at the top level in relegation.

Relegation game – best of three games to determine who stays in top grouping, or heads down to next level.  Switzerland (Mueller, Rod) vs Germany.

Quarter finals feature Russia (Goldobin) vs USA and Sweden (Bergman, Bergvik) vs Finland. The latter is a traditional national rivalry, so there could be some nastiness.
