Head To Head

  • Canada lead the series 14-0 since 2006
  • Canada won 4-2 when the teams last met in May 2021

Canada Form

Canada come into this game looking to bounce back from their first defeat of the tournament.

The Maple Leafs opened the tournament with a 6-0 victory over Latvia, and followed that up with a 5-2 victory Slovenia.

They made hard work of the meeting with Slovakia, eventually winning via a shootout, before blowing out Kazakhstan 5-1.

Canada were unable to maintain their unbeaten record in their fifth outing of the tournament though.

In a battle of the top two teams in Group B, they came up short as they lost 3-2 to Switzerland.

Norway Form

Norway have already been eliminated from the tournament, following four defeats in five games.

They began the tournament with a shootout defeat to Kazakhstan, and then suffered a 3-0 shutout defeat to Switzerland.

The Norwegians finally got off the mark in game three, as they beat Slovenia 1-0, but they have not won since.

Their next outing was a 2-1 defeat to Latvia, and last time out they were beaten 2-0 by the Czech Republic.

Verdict

Norway may be heading home early, but they are a solid defensive unit that is backed to avoid being blown out.
