Today’s game against Sweden will be broadcast on NHL Network at 7:30p MT. A win in regulation would send the US to top of Group B which would match them against the Group A 4th place Slovakia. An OT win would land them 2nd, facing Germany. Any loss would leave the US in 3rd place, facing the loser of today’s Canada v Finland contest.

Sweden lost in OT to Russia last night, while the US haven’t played since Tuesday afternoon.
