Czechia will need to overcome the disappointment of their overtime loss to Germany on Monday in order to try and get back on track and avoid finishing in fourth spot in the group. It won’t be easy against Finland. The Czechs will have Michal Hradek back from suspension after having to play against Germany with only five defencemen. For their part, the Finns may get their toughest test of the tournament so far after wins against Germany and Austria. A win from Finland here will likely set up a battle for top spot in the group against Canada on New Year’s Eve.
