Why you should back Canada
The Canadians have a loaded roster and they’re in a desperate spot. They’ll be incentivized to build an early lead in this one since any kind of overtime game will jeopardize their spot in the Final. Canada has a loaded group of forwards, and it has a chance to improve defensively if Cale Makar is able to play this game after missing the matchup against Team USA due to illness.
“The former Norris Trophy winner’s speed on the back end was noticeably missed considering the way the U.S. clogged the neutral zone,” Severance said. Finland has some talent at forward, but hasn’t been as strong in net or defensively, so Canada has a chance to pile up enough goals to win this one comfortably. See which team to back at SportsLine.
Why you should back Finland
All the pressure is on Canada and Finland can bring a huge return for moneyline backers if it springs the big upset. Sebastian Aho, Aleksander Barkov, Roope Hintz and Mikko Rantanen are some of the top forwards for Finland. And though he hasn’t seen as much ice time, forward Anton Lundell was tremendous in the win against Sweden, recording four shots and scoring a goal.
After a rough opener for goalie Juuse Saros, Finland turned to Kevin Lankinen against Sweden and got better results. Lankinen is expected to be in net against Canada and a big night from him could keep Finland in contention. Lankinen, who plays for the Canucks in the NHL, ranks 13th in the league this year in GAA (.253) and his four shutouts is tied for second in the league. See which team to back at SportsLine.
