Whites: Alexeev, Minulin - Chekhovich, Khusnutdinov, Zhafyarov;
Blues: Pylenkov, Zborovsky - Butuzov, Kraskovsky, Kovalenko;

All coronavirus tests came back with negative results without exception.
Puck-drop against Finland on Thursday is scheduled for 17:00 Moscow time.
Acting head coach of the senior Russian national team Igor Larionov:
- It was a productive training session for us, all of the players are really happy to be here. The main task was to see the guys in new lines, make combination plays, play with the puck, move it at speed. All coaches were happy with what they witnessed.
We worked with a number of these players at the World Junior Championship. We have good players in our team, some of them have already scored 20 goals in the KHL, there is a fusion of youth and experience. Although the oldest player is 27 years old, you cannot say he is old. I am glad that in a short time the team rallied and during the training we managed to gain solid mutual understanding.
- The national team have six wins out of six in the Euro Hockey Tour so far. How high are the expectations?
- We are not discussing this. This is a new stage of the tournament, and we always have one task - to win the next match. You understand the responsibility you have when wearing the Russian national team jersey.
