There were supposed to be two games played on Tuesday at the World Junior Hockey Championship, but Team USA’s goaltenders have been subjected to the tournament’s COVID protocol, forcing the squad to forfeit that game and hand the three points to Team Switzerland.

While the Group B teams in Red Deer deal with the Omicron variant, Group A continues on in Edmonton, and now Austria versus Canada is the only game on the schedule. It will be the second game for both teams after Canada took advantage of some lengthy five-on-three time to beat Czechia on Sunday, and the Austrians fell by a 7-1 score to Finland yesterday.

Even that 7-1 scoreline may have been a bit kind to the Austrians, who were outshot 48-9 on the day. Canada will be an even tougher opponent, and has a day of rest that Austria didn’t receive, so this could be one of the most lopsided contests of the tournament. It’s a chance for several members of the host team — including Kaiden Guhle — to rack up some points.
