Team Canada reveals their top lines for Four Nations Face-Off.

Team Canada hit the ice on Monday and revealed their top lines for the upcoming Four Nations Face-Off tournament.

As is always the case at international hockey tournaments, the Canadian squad is entering the upcoming Four Nations Face-Off tournament with extremely high expectations being placed on their shoulders. Those expectations come for good reason however as the Canadian roster is simply stacked with some of the most elite hockey talent in the world, including many of the most well respected and even revered players from the National Hockey League

On Monday, the Canadian squad hit the ice as a unit for the first time as part of their preparations before the Four Nations Face-Off tournament officially gets under way, with the team gathered in Montreal, Quebec. This gave us a chance to see the team in action for the first time and gave us the opportunity to see what exactly the management time behind the construction of this roster has envisioned for the tournament.

For the first time Team Canada showed off both their lines and defensive pairings during practice, which will likely give us a pretty good indication of what we can expect to see throughout the tournament. Things of course could change at any given moment, but this would appear to be the game plan at least for now.

Here is a look at the full lineup from today's practice:

Reinhart-McDavid-Marner
Stone-Crosby-MacKinnon
Jarvis-Point-Marchand
Hagel-Cirelli-Bennett

Toews-Makar
Theodore-Doughty
Morrissey-Parayko
Sanheim

Hill/Binnington/Montembeault
