A spot in the Gold Medal game is on the line when Canada takes on Switzerland at the IIHF World Hockey Championships. Our hockey expert Neil Parker believes the Canadians are good value to get the job done on the strength of their dept goal-scoring.Canada and Switzerland meet in the semifinals of the World Hockey Championship on Saturday with a trip to the gold-medal game on the line.
The Canadians just have more scoring and overall depth with similar star power leading the way. Additionally, No. 1 goalie Jordan Binnington hasn’t been sharp with a .870 save percentage across his six starts. Considering he posted a rock-solid .913 mark across 57 starts for the St. Louis Blues this season, I expect better results against the Swiss on Saturday.
I also particularly value the motivation and makeup for this version of Team Canada. They can win back-to-back golds for the first time since 2015 and 2016, and the blend of proven two-way players and talented young scorers makes the Canadians a matchup nightmare for the Swiss.Team Canada has been involved in high-scoring games for the majority of this tournament, with six or more total goals in six of its seven games.
