Upcoming Championship Showdown: USA vs. Canada
The championship game is set for Thursday, February 20, featuring a highly anticipated rematch between the USA and Canada. Team USA secured their spot first with two wins, while Canada earned their place after a 5-3 regulation win over Finland. Had that game gone to overtime, Sweden would have still had a slim chance of advancing, as both of their losses came in 4-3 overtime heartbreakers.
USA vs. Sweden Prediction
With their championship spot secured, Team USA may opt to rest some of their top players, including Panthers forward Matthew Tkachuk, who has already been ruled out due to a lower-body injury sustained against Canada.
Despite being eliminated, Sweden is expected to put up a fierce fight in their final tournament game. However, Team USA’s depth and momentum should be enough to carry them to victory on home ice, setting up an electrifying rematch with Canada later in the week.
Prediction: USA 4, Sweden 2
