Group B Preliminary Games
6:15 AM ET: South Korea vs Canada
Canada will look to rebound against South Korea, and, let’s face it, they will win. Curtis McElhinney will get the start, and after Darcy Kuemper struggled in the shootout loss against the United States, will have every opportunity to take the starting job away. For Canada, it’s just time to prepare for the quarterfinals and this is the next step. South Korea and goaltender Matt Dalton struggled in an 8-1 loss to Finland.
The game will be on TSN 1/3 and RDS in Canada and NHL Network in the USA.
10:15 AM ET: Germany vs Norway
Germany played the host Denmark very tough, forcing them to a shootout before falling short. Leon Draisaitl had a goal and an assist and as he goes, this Germany team goes and they are never out of it with his abilities. Norway had a 2-0 lead over Latvia, but fell in a shootout as well. The winner of this game will likely earn a quarterfinal berth.
