As the IIHF World Championship heats up, all eyes will be on the clash between Canada and Sweden on May 20 at 2:20 p.m. ET.
Hockey Canada, led by the legendary Sidney Crosby and Nathan MacKinnon, looks to continue their strong performance after a 7-1 victory over Latvia and a 5-0 shutout against France.
However, they will be without Bo Horvat, who is injured for the remainder of the tournament, with highly-rated prospect Porter Martone stepping into the lineup.
Sweden, fresh off a 6-0 drubbing of Latvia and a solid 4-0 win against France, poses a formidable challenge.
Historically, Canada has often triumphed in these encounters, but Sweden’s recent form suggests they will not be an easy opponent.
Follow along for live updates, scores, lineups and highlights as Canada takes on Sweden at the IIHF World Championship 2025.
