Unlike in Group B where three teams can finish tied in points at the top, there will be one clear-cut winner of Group A, and that title will be decided on the ice between Canada and Finland.
Both teams have gone undefeated in what has been the weaker of the two five-team sections, each now facing its toughest test on the final day of the preliminary round. Canada has blasted its way past the opposition with 29 goals, while Finland has been more measured with just 15. Offensive disparity aside, each club has brought a solid core of defencemen to the tournament, and tonight will be the first time they really need to be on top of their game.
While most of the matches have featured plenty of blasts from the goal horn, it could be rather quiet tonight as the two sides play what is expected to be the most tightly contested game of all.
