A pair of Soo Greyhounds will face each other in the Gold Medal game of the 2015 World Junior Hockey Championships on Monday night.

Thanks to semi-final wins, Team Canada and Team Russia will meet in Monday’s final with Greyhounds defenceman Darnell Nurse suiting up for Canada and Sergey Tolchinsky in the lineup for the Russians.

Nurse, who has spent the tournament on Canada’s top defence pairing with Shea Theodore of the Western Hockey League’s Seattle Thunderbirds, picked up his first point of the tournament in Canada’s 5-1 win over Slovakia in Sunday’s semi-final.

Nurse and Theodore have been Canada’s go-to pairing and has faced many of the top players in tournament.

For Russia, Tolchinsky has three goals in six games, including a pair of game winning goals.

Greyhounds goaltender Brandon Halverson was a member of Team USA and picked up a shutout in his lone game of the tournament, a 6-0 win over Germany.
