After four days at the 2020 World Junior Championships, one thing is clear: No one knows who is winning Group B. The so-called group of death has lived up to its billing with all of the teams having at least one loss and one win. The standings look like this:
Group B as of December 29
| USA | 3 | 6 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 13:10 |
| CZE | 2 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 7:7 |
| GER | 2 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 7:9 |
| CAN | 2 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 6:10 |
| RUS | 3 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 10:7 |
With two wins in regulation to get six more points, Canada is in first place, even if the USA win their next match.
