Team Canada looks to regroup after their opening day loss to the USA at the World Junior Tournament, with Denmark providing the opposition in Game Number Two from Finland.
For the Danes the match up provides an opportunity to build on their first ever regulation time victory at the World Junior tournament, having defeated the Swiss 2-1 on Sunday.
A game which saw the Danes taking advantage of the short bench that the Swiss had owing to a string of suspensions from Boxing Day play against the Swedes, still Denmark was still full value for a win which provided for the first real upset for the 2015-16 tournament.
And while many would suspect it unlikely that the Danish juniors are about to launch an undefeated streak, there's something about getting your first win in a tournament (in this case ever) that could put a bit of an extra push on the ice.
Something that the Canadian team will want to be watchful for in the early stages, though for the most part it would seem that Monday's game will provide an opportunity for the Canadians to correct their miscues of Boxing Day and develop a more consistent bit of play through all three periods.
