Chicago Blackhawks will have four players and a prospect in action Saturday at the World Championship in Denmark.
The day is highlighted by two Hawks against each other: Erik Gustafsson (Sweden) vs. Tomas Jurco (Slovakia). Sweden, the defending Worlds champion, are undefeated through four games at this year’s tournament in Group A. Slovakia is two points back of Czech Republic and Switzerland for a playoff spot. Gustafsson hasn’t recorded a point, while Jurco has one goal.
Forward Dominik Kahun and Germany will face off against Latvia. Germany is one point shy Lativa and three from Denmark in Group B for a position in the quarterfinals.
