The 4 Nations Face-Off has narrowed down to its final two games. The United States has already secured a spot in the championship game on Thursday night at Boston’s TD Garden. Monday’s matches will determine which team will join the USA in the final.
Canada, Finland, and Sweden are tied with two points each after two games. The teams’ head-to-head results will be crucial in breaking the tie. Here are the scenarios:
– If Canada beats Finland in regulation, it would earn five points and advance to the final.
– If Finland wins in regulation, it would also earn five points and secure a spot in the final.
However, if either team wins in overtime, they’ll only have four points and must wait for the outcome of the USA-Sweden game. In that case, the winner will take on the USA in the championship game.
In Monday’s night match, Sweden will play the United States at 8 p.m. ET. The Finland-Canada game at 1 p.m. ET is less decisive, with Canada already beating Sweden in their opening matchup.
