The action heated up on Sunday, with just two days left to go in round-robin play.
After lopsided affairs dominated the action in Group B, Finland and USA had a spirited affair to close out the evening. USA ended up winning 8-4, with the two teams playing chippier than we’ve seen at any point in the tournament. It was a big change from earlier in the day when Switzerland thumped Latvia 5-1 to take second spot in Group B, a huge confidence booster heading into the team’s final game against the Americans.
In Ajoie, where the action has been excellent all week, the games once again remained intense. Sweden scored twice late in the third to win 2-0 in one of the tightest games of the tournament. Canada also improved to 2-1, but Slovakia erased a 3-0 deficit to make it 4-3. They’ll be a pain for whoever lines up against them in the quarterfinals.man. That fifth American goal was as Connor McDavid-like as we’ve seen. And then he pulled off another spectacular play to set up the sixth goal.
