Charlottetown Islanders goaltender Mason McDonald will be getting the start in goal in an exhibition game against Russia tonight.
The 19-year-old, Halifax, N.S., native is one of three goaltenders participating in Team Canada's National Junior Team Summer Development Camp taking place in Calgary, Alta. The development camp started Aug. 1 and runs until Aug. 6. Team Canada will play two exhibition games against both Russia and the Czech Republic.
McDonald posted a 28-26 (won-lost) record with a 3.06 goals against average and a 0.906 save percentage with one shutout with the Islanders in the 2014-15 season.
McDonald was the first goaltender selected at the 2014 NHL Entry Draft when the Calgary Flames drafted him 34th overall. He signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Flames on July 2, 2015.
Tonight's game is at 11 p.m. ADT from the Markin MacPhail Centre in Calgary.
Team Canada will face-off against the Czech Republic on Tuesday Aug. 4 at 8:30 p.m. ADT, Russia on Wednesday Aug. 5 at 11 p.m. ADT and then the Czech Republic again on Thursday Aug. 6 at 7 p.m. ADT.
