Bronze Medal game
4 PM ET: USA vs Czech Republic
While both teams will be disappointed to play for the bronze medal, there is no denying that the Czech Republic will be the happier of the two teams. In a bronze medal game, sometimes that is enough, but we can’t forget that the United States will be playing at home.
This game features some of the top scorers in the entire tournament, and both teams pulled their goaltenders in their semi-final losses meaning that the goaltending decisions could also be interesting heading into the game.
The Czech Republic has not won a medal since a bronze in 2005 when the tournament was held in North Dakota. The game will be on TSN 1/3/4/5 and RDS in Canada. NHL Network in the US will also show the game.
