Victor Mete in for Canada against Czech Republic in world juniors semifinal

Defenceman Victor Mete will be in the lineup when Canada faces the Czech Republic tonight in the semifinal of the world junior hockey championship.

The Montreal Canadiens prospect missed Canada’s 8-2 quarterfinal win over Switzerland on Tuesday with a lower-body injury.

He had been hurt in Canada’s 4-3 shootout loss to the United States on Dec. 29 and played limited minutes against Denmark on Dec. 30.

Carter Hart will be Canada’s starting goaltender.
