3 Key Storylines for Canada vs Sweden

1. Binnington’s Chance

Canada’s goaltending has been one of the biggest storylines heading into the tournament. The question on everyone’s mind is: Will Jordan Binnington rise to the occasion?

Binnington has a proven track record in high-pressure situations. He backstopped the St. Louis Blues to a Stanley Cup victory in 2019, making 32 saves in a Game 7 win against the Boston Bruins. More recently, he played a key role for Canada at the 2024 IIHF World Championship, posting a 6-2 record with a 2.81 goals-against average.

2. Chemistry is King

With limited time to prepare, both Canada and Sweden will rely on their line combinations to deliver. Coaches Jon Cooper (Canada) and Sam Hallam (Sweden) have carefully crafted their rosters, but the real test will be how quickly the players can gel.

Cooper acknowledged the challenge, saying, “I hope we got it right and that’s it and we don’t have to change, but I anticipate that probably won’t be the case. Even your own NHL teams sometimes you change lines just because the momentum in the game needs to be swung or you feel in your gut is telling you to do this.”

For Canada, the top line of Connor McDavid, Nathan MacKinnon, and Mitch Marner will be under the microscope. If they can establish chemistry early, it could set the tone for the entire tournament.

3. Start Fast, Play Fast

Both teams are expecting a high-tempo game from the opening faceoff. Mika Zibanejad of Sweden emphasized the importance of a quick start, saying, “I don’t think there is any waiting around. I don’t think we have time for it. I don’t think they have time for it. I’m expecting a high tempo from the start.”

Cooper echoed this sentiment, drawing parallels to the 2020 Stanley Cup Playoffs bubble, where players mingled off the ice but competed fiercely on it. “I fully expect it to be as competitive as any international tournament,” Cooper said. “The difference is we’re all together right now. Teams are sharing hotels, so you’re running into different situations like that. It’s exactly how the bubble was. Everybody was together. Everybody was having fun and conversing, but when those games started it was a war.”
