USA vs Canada: Odds & Prediction

USA and Canada are -110 a piece as the game is a pick'em with the over/under set at 6.5 goals.

USA vs Canada is the game everyone was looking forward to, and it could be the first of two meetings, as there is a good chance they will play in the championship game.

USA has the better goaltending, but Binnington played well enough that it should give Canada confidence. However, in terms of skill, Canada has more, and they will need to be able to score on Hellebuyck, which is easier said than done.

Ultimately, this will be a close game, but Canada's offense is still too good to match as Canada will edge out a competitive win here.

Prediction: Canada 3, USA 2
