Team Sweden will face the high-flying United States squad in their next and final exhibition match, presenting an exciting matchup between two tournament juggernauts.

The puck is set to drop at 10:30 AM (PST), and whether it’s in-game clips or post-game recaps, we will have you covered.

Hope Sweden dummies USA on their way to gold

Is EP2 really listed at 6'4 205lbs now? That's an exciting development.

 

[Canucks LB]

Betting markets have Lekkerimaki lined at O/U 3 goals for the tournament. Seems light considering he's got some confidence in the SHL and he'll be on the 1PP for Sweden.

Oh dear.. betting on kids is so wrong...with that said i am intrigued

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Sweden only brought 2 LHD, which explains why Tom is playing on the left side despite being right handed

Very unusual to see a RHD switches side

I'm betting on him to succeed!

Hey guys, is there anywhere I can download the Canadian or Sweden calendar for all the games played?

So they just notify you when there’s games?

Think it was either Sweden or Russia that had all skaters save for 1 guy who was a Left Shot one year.

Where did you find that line?

 

[Hodgy]

Anyone have a stream for the Sweden game? I think it starts at 9am. Please pm me.

 

[bossram]

Where did you find that line?

Coolbet. Been bet up to a heavily juiced 3.5 now though.

But you can take Lekk as Sweden's top goal scorer at +325.

Beautiful assist by Lekkerimaki to find Ostlund in the exhibition game vs USA a moment ago.
