North Bay’s Colton Point will start in net for Canada against Slovakia tonight (Wednesday) at the world junior hockey championship in Buffalo, New York.

Point gets the nod over Carter Hart, who played in last night’s 4-2 win over Finland.

Hart is one of seven players returning from last year’s silver-medal team and the presumptive starter for most of the tournament.

Game time is 7 pm.
