The United States is currently in fourth place in the group standings, with the final qualification spot for the quarterfinals. Two Group A teams – Switzerland and Finland – have already clinched a spot, leaving the defending champions in Team USA with a narrow but clear path to advance. The team has one win, one overtime win, and two losses so far. A victory against Latvia would go a long way toward sending the team through.

Latvia currently sits in seventh out of the eight teams in the group with a win and three losses so far in the competition. Its chances of advancing would take a big hit if they’re unable to pick up points in this game.

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.
