The Canadians haven’t beaten the U.S. in a tournament final since the 2014 Four Nations Cup and haven’t won the world title since 2012.
The American women have beaten Canada in seven of the last eight world hockey championship finals, including a 3-2 overtime win two years ago in Michigan.
Still, taking two of three games against their Olympic champion frenemies to win February’s "Rivalry Series" gives Canada some momentum heading to Espoo. The tournament features 10 teams for the first time, expanding an eight-team format that has been in place since 2010. Women’s hockey at the 2022 Winter Olympics will also be a 10-team tournament.
What’s different this year is the prospect of Canada and the U.S. playing quarterfinal games against a Group B opponent: There are no longer byes to the semifinals for the top two teams in Group A ahead of the April 14 final.
