The NHL will take a two-week hiatus and there will be no All-Star game this year. Instead, this round-robin, best-on-best international men’s hockey tournament features NHL players from the United States, Canada, Finland and Sweden.
A win in regulation counts as three points, a win in overtime or a shootout counts as two and a loss in overtime or a shootout earns one point. The two teams with the most points at each round will advance to face each other in the championship game.
The games will take place Feb. 12-20 with host cities Montreal, Canada and Boston Massachusetts. USA and Canada are the co-favorites.
Sweden pushed Canada to its limit on opening night, falling short, 4-3, in overtime after Mitch Marner’s dagger. They will need to respond with precious points against a struggling Finland squad.
Three points is the ideal goal here and it can be obtained with a an average performance from William Nylander and Mika Zibanejad.
Sweden’s offense showed it can hang with the best of them in its a classic encounter with the Canadiens on their own home ice. They did that without Nylander or Zibanejad recording a single point on a combined four shots. If either one were able to contribute slightly, Sweeden may have pulled the stunner.
After Canada scored 56 seconds into the game, and eventually climbed up 2-0, Sweden showed resolve with its comeback. Joel Eriksson Ek and Jonas Brodin were key in the counter punch. Most of Sweden’s offense came from the third line.
Goalkeeper Filip Gustavsson will anchor the net once again. He recorded 24 saves on 28 shots, including 19 of 21 after the first period.
Finland’s close call against the United States after two periods unraveled into a bloodbath on the ice as the Americans hammered in four goals in the third and walloped the Finns, 6-1.
They can ill afford a repeat performance, but are facing a capable and confident Sweden squad, especially on secondary lines. Finland’s forwards mustered just 20 shots on goal. The blue line is perilously thin and will again be tested.
They have decided to pull Nashville predators goalkeeper Juuse Sarros after the lackluster performance of six goals on 32 shots, including four goals in 12 shots in the third period. Vancouver Canucks goalkeeper Kevin Lankinen will get the start. he has a 2.53 goals against average with .905% save percentage and four shutouts.
After suffering the only regulation loss of the first round of games, Finland essentially needs a regulation win in hopes of staying alive for the championship match.
