Canada vs Switzerland: Game Preview
With first place in Group B hanging in the balance, both teams will be eager to secure a victory.
Canada enters the game on the back of an impressive performance against Kazakhstan, triumphing 5-1 after a dominant four-goal first period. Joe Veleno and Sammy Blais were instrumental in the victory, each contributing a goal and two assists. Lawson Crouse added two goals of his own, while Joel Hofer stood tall between the pipes, making 17 saves in his tournament debut.
Switzerland, just like Canada, has enjoyed a perfect campaign in Riga, most recently defeating Slovakia 4-2. Nino Niederreiter, Christian Marti, Gaetan Haas, and Jonas Siegenthaler all found the back of the net in the victory.
In their previous meeting during last year's prelims, Canada fell 6-3 to the Swiss in Helsinki. However, with Drake Batherson, Adam Lowry, and Kent Johnson all at the top of their game, the Canadians will be determined to reverse their fortunes this time around.
Watch out for Joe Veleno, who leads Canada's forward group with five points. Meanwhile, Switzerland's goaltenders, Leonardo Genoni and Robert Mayer, have been exceptional, combining for three shutouts and allowing only two goals in the tournament so far.
The all-time record between the nations is in Canada's favor, with a 26-5-2 record and 167 goals scored compared to Switzerland's 51.
As the puck drops, both teams will leave it all on the ice, striving for victory and the top spot in Group B.
