The series that has been five and seven games in previous years is a four-game set as players on both teams have both Olympic preparation and Professional Women’s Hockey League games this season.
The Rivalry Series will be the last clash of the archrivals before the Winter Games in Milan and Cortina, Italy, in February.
The two countries have met in the finals of all but one Olympic gold-medal game since 1998 with Canada holding a 4-2 record.
