How to watch Canada vs. Sweden: TV channel, live stream, start time for the 2022 Women’s World Cup quarter-finals
The 2022 Women’s World Cup is into the playoffs, as the quarterfinals begin on Thursday. Canada is among the eight teams to advance from the preliminary round, as the reigning gold medalists take on Sweden.
Canada finished second in Group A, winning their first three games against Switzerland, Finland and Japan by a combined score of 17-2 before falling to the United States to close out group play. It was the first time Canada lost at a major event since the 2019 Women’s Worlds.
Leading the way for the Canadians has been Sarah Fillier, as the 22-year-old leads the team in points with seven, which is tied for third-most in the tournament. Her four goals also rank first on the team and are tied for first among all skaters.

Sweden was the beneficiary of Russia’s suspension from the IIHF and took the open spot in the top tournament. The team had previously been relegated to Division IA in 2019 – a first ever for the country – but never played at that level due to COVID-19 canceling the 2020 and 2021 events.
The Swedes have taken advantage, not only avoiding relegation to stay in the top flight but finishing second in Group B. Sweden took an opening win over Hungary before coming out on top in battles against Germany and Hungary. In their final preliminary game, Sweden lost to the Czech Republic to settle for second place in the group.
Hanna Olsson has gone on the offensive for the group. Her four goals are tied with Fillier and the Czech Republic’s Natalie Mlynkova for the tournament lead. At the same time, Mila Jungaker is equal in points with Olsson with five.
The winner of the game advances to the semifinals, while the loser must play in placement games to determine the final standings in the tournament.
