Watch Canada battle its rival U.S. in Para ice hockey at Beijing 2022

Click on the video player above to watch live coverage of Canada's game against the U.S. in Para ice hockey at the Beijing Games.

Action begins on Saturday at 11:45 p.m. ET.

It's a rematch of the 2018 gold-medal game won by the Americans when they potted the equalizer with 38 seconds remaining in regulation before winning in overtime.

The game against the U.S. is just the first of the round robin, with both teams already assured of spots in the knockout rounds. However, the top two teams from their group advance directly to the semifinals. The final team in the group is South Korea. The group was also supposed to include the Russian Paralympic Committee before the team was expelled from competition.

Team Canada is led by veterans Greg Westlake, one of the country's flag-bearers for the opening ceremony, and Billy Bridges, the only Canadian to record at least 100 goals and 100 assists in international play.

Westlake passed on captain's duties to Tyler McGregor, competing at his third Paralympics, for the Beijing Games.

Canada returns to the ice on Tuesday at 12:05 a.m. ET against South Korea.
