TORONTO -- Team Sweden goaltender Henrik Lundqvist returns to the lineup Tuesday against Team Finland after missing the first game of the World Cup of Hockey with the flu.Team Sweden coach Rikard Gronborg said the decision was made Monday night after Lundqvist, 34, participated in the teams full practice earlier in the day. After practice, Lundqvist said he felt optimistic he would be able to play, especially since this could be the last time he faces the rival Finns in international competition.In the end, every game is super important, Lundqvist said after practice. You only have three games in the group, so it doesnt matter who you play you have to take it very seriously. As a group here, we look forward to the challenge. Its going to be a tough game for us. Personally, I just hope Ill be able to play, but in the end its up to the coaches here to decide whos going to be out there. But I had a good practice today. I feel a lot better than yesterday, so Im optimistic.In Lundqvists absence, backup Jacob Markstrom made 27 saves en route to a 2-1 win over Russia on Sunday.After a devastating 4-1 loss to Team North America, Finland has decided to make a goalie change and will replace Pekka Rinne with Tuukka Rask for Tuesdays game against Sweden.During the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, Rask missed the semifinal game against Sweden because he was sick. Finland lost that game 2-1 and backup netminder Kari Lehtonen finished with 23 saves. Rask returned for the bronze medal game and led the team to victory over the U.S. On Monday, he said playing against Sweden is something hes been looking forward to if he got the nod.Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely, he said. As a goalie, as an athlete, you thrive on important games in important situations. You want to perform at a high level when its really needed. Its against Sweden so its a big thing back home. Its a big game for our team and you dont want to look back at whats happened before. We have to focus on the moment and tomorrows against Sweden, and if I play Ill just try to be at my best and feel good about myself. Vans Shoes Sale Outlet .

For the first time, the NFL began selling Super Bowl tickets on the open market on Wednesday.Prices for the tickets, which include a pregame party and early access to Houstons NRG Stadium, the site of Super Bowl LI, or similar parties within the stadium security perimeter,?start at $5,599 and run up to $14,449 for the best seat.The most expensive package includes a pass to be on the field when the game ends.The tickets are being sold on a website run by Ticketmaster and On Location Experiences, the NFLs official hospitality partner, of which the leagues investment arm owns a stake.NFL On Location through the NFL has been allotted 9,500 tickets for Super Bowl LI, which includes the tickets that are given to the participating teams.While the ticket prices come at a huge premium compared to secondary market sites like StubHub, the tickets that went on sale Wednesday are to exact seats. Sites like StubHub only promise zones of the stadium.The cost of the tickets that are being put on sale can rise and fall as the game nears, depending on demand.The idea to create a marketplace like this was born out of the short-selling fiasco from Super Bowl XLIX. Many ticket brokers sold tickets ahead of time on speculation, selling a seat they didnt have with the goal of filling it for the buyer closer to the game as the price dropped.dddddddddddd But the price didnt drop and those brokers were forced to either buy last-minute tickets for two to three times what they sold them for to the fan, or tell the fan they couldnt fill their orders. As a result, hundreds of people arrived in Phoenix to find that the tickets that they had bought would not be delivered.The question with the NFLs new business is whether fans will pay the extra premium to be assured of an exact ticket. The cheapest ticket on StubHub is around $3,300, more than $2,000 cheaper than the cheapest NFL On Location ticket. Its only a zone that is guaranteed on StubHub, but StubHub does guarantee, as it did in 2015 when the market crashed, that a ticket bought will be a ticket filled. PrimeSport, which is partly owned by Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross, also guarantees seats.What the market does create is something the NFL can be more comfortable with. If certain Super Bowl ticket markets do fall through, the league could point to the fact that it now offers a legitimate alternative that assures fraud will not take place. ' ' '
