Sweden will take on the USA in the first of the IIHF World Championship semi-finals. Sweden are co-hosts with a record of 7-1, the same record as the USA in the tournament to this point, Let's take a look at the team's road to this point ahead of a prediction.
The sole loss on Sweden's record came against Canada in their final group game. A poor opening period saw them behind after just 18 seconds and 1-3 down at the first break. Switzerland were the team to inflict the sole defeat on the USA, 3-0 winners in a game where the Swiss were dominant from start to finish.
In the quarter-final matchups, Sweden beat the Czech Republic 5-2 while the USA got the better of Finland 5-2. The teams met in the 4 Nations in Canada back in February. Sweden won 2-1 on that occasion with all three goals coming in the first period.
When it comes to point scorers, it is Elias Lindholm of the Boston Bruins who tops the Swedish roster and Frank Nazar of the Chicago Blackhawks who leads the way for the USA.
