Canada gets its first real test tonight when it plays defending champ Finland at the World Jr. Hockey Championship. Canada won its first two games in the preliminary round in convincing fashion. Game time 9:30 our time. Elsewhere today, Denmark vs. Czech Republic at 2:30 our time. Slovakia and the U.S start at suppertime. The Americans easily shut out the Germans last night.. Russia, which clobbered Switzerland last night, plays Sweden at 630 this evening. . ............... In the NHL, the Toronto Maple Leafs had a healthy 4-2 lead over Florida but then it all fell apart in the third period in a 6-4 loss to Florida. The Leafs, who have dropped four of their last five, play Tampa By tonight. In the only other game, Anaheim beat Vancouver in extra time. .................... IN the NBA, the Toronto Raptors swept two games on the weekend, defeating Denver 116-102 last night.
