Latvia
Latvian stars Martins Cipulis and Kaspars Daugavins will have to use their experience to lead the lone NHL player, 20-year-old Zemgus Girgensons of the Buffalo Sabres. Girgensons, however, will be familiar with Latvia coach Ted Nolan, who is serving as interim head coach for the Sabres this season. There will be experience on defense with 41-year-old Sandis Ozolinsh, who has 875 career NHL games under his belt. The likely decision in net appears to be Edgar Masalskis, who has two previous Olympic appearances despite measuring in at only 5-foot-10.
