Team Canada need to bounce back after a 3-1 loss to the US in the Four Nations, and now they've brought Seth Jarvis back in ahead of the Championship Game.

The Four Nations Face Off has been a huge win for the NHL, and after shattering viewership records for the first USA vs. Canada matchup, they battle again on Thursday with the winner of the first ever Four Nations to be crowned.

Now, with more eyes than ever on the product, the two teams come into their highly anticipated matchup on Thursday with some key decisions to make, and according to reports, Canada have already made one.

Top NHL Insider Elliotte Friedman has now confirmed that forward Seth Jarvis, who was benched for the teams win over Finland, will now slot back into the lineup on Thursday, reportedly replacing Travis Konecny on the fourth line.

That will give Canada another new look fourth line, with Jarvis playing alongside Sam Bennett and Brad Marchand as Team Canada look to avenge their 3-1 loss to the United States earlier in the tournament.

When asked about slotting back into the lineup, Jarvis confirms what many hockey fans believe, and that is that this game will be the biggest of many careers in this one, outside of those that have played on the grand stage of the Stanley Cup Finals.

While Jarvis didn't excel earlier in the tournament, outside of Canada's superstar players very few have, and with the United States full of star power, that will have to change in order for Canada to pick up the big win.

Ultimately though, both teams have the talent to get it done, and with Jarvis back in the lineup, this is going to be an intense, thrilling contest between two teams desperate to be crowned the first ever Four Nations Champions.
