Probable Starter:  Jonas Hiller, ANH

Backups:  Reto Berra, CGY, Tobias Stephan, Genève-Servette HC (SWI)
Hiller has the ability to steal a big game at any time, perhaps more so than Martin Gerber, who turned the trick on Canada in an upset in 2006.  Hiller played every minute for the Swiss in 2010, and his numbers  had him ranked 6th, despite not playing behind a roster up to par with many of the teams he faced.
