UFA, RUSSIA - Steve Spott wants more scoring out of his forwards against Russia.

With that in mind, the Canada coach has made a signficant lineup move for Canada’s New Year’s Eve match against their biggest hockey rivals.

Jonathan Drouin, who subtly has been one of Canada’s best forwards at the 2013 World Junior Championship, has been moved up to the top line with centre Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and winger Mark Scheifele.
