The last few games have been about Connor Bedard chasing history, scoring 13 points in games against weaker opponents. That storyline will continue for the rest of the tournament, but now Canada must be more focused on a team game with the competition heating up.
The hosts have no chance of finishing in Group A; that title was claimed by the Czech Republic earlier in the day. Instead, they will try to at least secure their place as runners-up with a win over Sweden, which would require them to spoil the Swedes’ perfect record.
Sweden has some dangerous weapons on the roster that will provide a tough test for Canada’s defense, led by defenseman Ludvig Jansson who sits 10th in tournament points.
