Let's Go Blues

Switzerland 1, United States 0 (forfeit) -- The Group B game scheduled for WP Centrium in Red Deer was canceled due to two COVID-19 positive tests for the United States.

"We're extremely disappointed, especially for our players," United States general manager John Vanbiesbrouck said. "We're operating in an ever-changing landscape and that's very challenging. We've followed the tournament protocol from the outset and will continue to do everything we can to ensure our players have the opportunity to compete at the World Junior Championship."

The United States (1-0-0-1), the defending champion, is scheduled to play Sweden (2-0-0-0) on Wednesday (9:30 p.m. ET; NHLN, TSN, RDS). The United States has entered quarantine and a determination on the status of that game had not yet been made by the IIHF.
