The final day of the round-robin at the world juniors has concluded, setting up the quarterfinals. Team USA secured the top position in Group A by defeating Canada 4-1, capitalizing on Canada's inability to stay disciplined, which resulted in 22 minutes of penalties. This allowed the U.S. to score three power-play goals on seven opportunities.
In Group B, Sweden remained undefeated against Czechia, winning 4-1. Herman Traff contributed significantly with two goals early in the second period, and Sweden maintained control throughout the game. They will face Latvia in the quarterfinals.
Finland also performed strongly, defeating Latvia and finishing second in Group A, while Latvia ended up fourth. Switzerland won against Kazakhstan, determining the teams that would advance to the quarterfinals and those that would move to the relegation round. Germany and Kazakhstan will play in the relegation round after finishing at the bottom of their groups.
