Canada has rolled through its first two games, outscoring its opponents, Germany and Slovakia, 19-3.

Sounds great.

The only issue? They put 51 shots on net between those two games. On Tuesday, the Canadians will look to play a more complete game when they take on up-and-coming Switzerland. The Swiss lost 1-0 to Slovakia and 4-1 to Finland.

"Swiss will bring a lot of adversity," said head coach Andre Tourigny on Monday. "They will play a similar-type game [like] the Slovaks [who Canada hung on to beat 3-1]. They will collapse the middle and they will defend it with a lot of pride. They want to beat us so they will give it all and they will be for us a good challenge to keep learning how to play against those kinds of teams."

Tourigny re-jiggered his lines once again during his practice on Monday as Dylan Holloway returns after missing the game against Slovakia with an upper-body injury. Holloway was on the top line with Connor McMichael and Dylan Cozens. Braden Schneider is also expected back in; he was suspended for Sunday's game while the steady Devon Levi should be back between the pipes.
