One of the biggest challenges for the US in the Ice Hockey World Championship will take place next Tuesday morning, as they’ll face Czech Republic in a game that will give them the chance to get a better spot in the Group B standings. However, the fact of playing with not their best players could complicate the scenario for the American squad against an unbeaten team like the Czech one.
With this context in mind, it could be a little bit surprising to find that Czech Republic isn’t the big favorite team to win this game as they currently are the best offensive line with 33 scored goals throughout the group stage. Additionally, they were able to score four or more goals during their last four games in a row, including a very dominant victory over Germany during their most recent game (0-5).
Meanwhile, the US met the expectations as they were able to recover after losing against Switzerland, nonetheless their defensive line has struggled during the whole tournament and that have caused not to have them as big favorites to battle for the championship. Despite that, they’ve already qualified for the quarterfinals, so quickly switching gears will be key in their championship aspirations.
