Bronze Medal Game

After tough losses for both countries in the semifinals, the USA and Sweden will face off for the first time since the pre-tournament game between the two countries. This time, the bronze medal will be on the line. The bronze medal game always feels like a bad result, but ask anyone and they’ll tell you they’d rather leave with a medal of any colour than empty handed. Montreal Canadiens prospects Lane Hutson and Adam Engström will likely feature prominently in this one.
