Four countries will smoothly predict the final forecast
Mike Brehm -USA 4, Canada 3 (OT): Top Canadian players will get better games, especially Cale Makar, playing this time, but the US will benefit from the revival of the star who missed Monday’s game You’ll get it. Give the US an edge as Hellebuyck outstrips Binnington in the tournament.
Jace Evans – Canada 3, USA 1: Becoming an American hockey fan in the 21st century is a disappointing effort. And one man was most responsible for it: Sidney Crosby. I hope that the Canadian captain will take this opportunity again to help lead his team to another hockey championship. Here are the two other reasons why you choose Canada? Conor McDavid and Nathan McKinnon – the two best forwards in the world.
Canada won the last three latest tournaments
Team Canada won the last three latest tournaments involving NHL players, with Sydney Crosby playing a major role. He scored overtime in the Gold Medal Game at the 2010 Olympics, scored in the 2014 Olympic finals, and was the MVP of the 2016 World Cup of Hockey. Canada’s Brad Marchand scored a close-up goal against Team Europe in 2016.
Will Charlie McAvoy take part in the game?
Injured USA defensive man Charlie McAvoy could be present at Thursday’s game, according to NHL.com. He is excluded from playing due to shoulder injuries and shoulder infections. The Boston Bruins defensive man posted the following photo on social media:

The expected goaltending matchup
USA’s Connor Hellebuyck (2-0, 1.00 average, .957 save rate) vs. Canada’s Jordan Binnington (2-1, 2.60, .892).
Canada’s Jordan Binnington won a big victory at the Boston Arena
