With the 2024 IIHF Men’s World Championships now entering the fourth day of play, most of the teams have at least a couple of games under their belts in the preliminary group stage. In Group A; Canada, Czechia, Finland, and Switzerland occupy the top four spots while over in Group B it’s Latvia, Sweden, Slovakia, and the United States. While the seeding is a bit mixed up, the eight teams currently in position to advance aren’t really all that unexpected.
There is still another week of games left in this round, so there is plenty of time for the players to get going, but why not take a moment to see how the four Tampa Bay Lightning players who made the trip over to Czechia are faring so far.
