Day 3 is a day off for the best teams so far in the tournament: Canada and Sweden. It is also marks the return of USA and Russia, two of the best teams on paper, but who needed extra time to win their first respective games of the tournament. They face lesser teams (at least on paper), will they stumble again?
Rafikov and the Russians were caught flat footed against the Danes, today will face a Swiss team that seems to get a little more competitive internationally every year.
The Jack Eichel show continues as a roster laden with current and future NHL draft picks take on a German team that wishes it had a small fraction of the depth the Americans have.
