This is essentially a must-win game for both of these teams, as they enter the day at a significant disadvantage in the race to qualify for a quarterfinal spot.
Team USA is sixth in the group with five points. The team has a win, an overtime win, and three losses. That currently puts the team four points back of Latvia, and the team needs to be within two, ideally, heading into each team’s final matches, as Latvia has a head-to-head win over the United States.
Hungary is even farther behind, with the team winning once and losing four times. The team has to win out and get help to have a chance to advance to the quarterfinals.
The IIHF World Championship continues through May 31, with U.S. television coverage on NHL Network. Last year, the United States won the title for the third time, with Switzerland finishing second, Sweden third, and Denmark fourth.
