Red Wings prospect and Edmonton Oil Kings goaltender Sebastian Cossa was expected to split time with Dylan Garand during Team Canada’s four “round robin” games at the World Junior Championship in Edmonton, but it’s a bit surprising that he’s starting Canada’s opening game vs. Latvia on Wednesday (6 PM EDT start on TSN/NHL Network).
TSN’s Mark Masters posted a video report in which Canada coach Dave Cameron spoke about Cossa’s experience in winning the WHL Championship with Edmonton, and then Garand spoke about the excitement of playing at the WJC:

Cameron also spoke a bit about Cossa in a 1-on-1 interview with Masters:
“Now the real fun starts…”
