The last game in the group stage phase for the Czech Republic and Canada will take place this Tuesday at 12:20 pm CST, and even though the odds are showing strong favoritism on the Canadian team, they aren’t expected to show a strong willingness to win this game, as they already secured the top spot of Group B with their most recent 5-1 victory over Slovakia.
Meanwhile, the Czech roster managed to reach the quarterfinals; however, their most recent 4-1 loss to Norway showed many concerning defensive weaknesses that could take them away from competing for the championship. Despite their situation, they should try to secure at least one point from this game, as that would be the only way for them to avoid losing the third spot in Group B.
As for the Canadian team, this game could be a fantastic opportunity for them to provide some rest to some of their biggest stars like Macklin Celebrini, Sidney Crosby, and John Tavares, so their chances of sustaining their unbeaten streak in the group stage are low. With these factors in mind, no matter the outcome of this game, they really are one of the strongest teams to contend for the World Championship.
