Canada comes off a big 7-5 win over Czechia and looks to get their second win of the tournament today, while Latvia makes their 2026 WJC debut.
Ivankovic starts for Canada; Maurins for Latvia.
TSNs 1 and 4 have this one if you're in Canada.
Fun Fact: When Latvia beat Canada last year, it was the first ever defeat Canada suffered at a WJC in a tournament year ending in 5; they had been undefeated in 1985, 1995, 2005 and 2015.
Top answer 1 of 5
