Which QF matchups are in Vancouver and which are in Victoria?

I guess it depends on if Canada finishes 1st or 2nd because they play in Vancouver regardless? I assume Sweden stays in Victoria as the top seed on that side.

I think that' correct

The basic is 1st and 2nd seed staying unless host team is involved. So Canada and Russia will play QF in Vancouver, Sweden and winner of USA/Finland in Victoria.
