New Year's Eve at the World Juniors usually features a USA vs. Canada clash, but this year those two met in the tournament's opener. While slightly less exciting, the Americans will finish the group stage with an important game against Denmark as they look to keep the good times rolling after dismantling Switzerland yesterday.
While the US has clinched a spot in the quarterfinals, there is some seeding up for grabs today. A straight up regulation loss combined with a Canada win over Sweden would punt the Americans down to 4th place. That would likely set up a third straight quarterfinal against Russia, who leads group B at the moment.
