Here are the lineups and a quick preview of the USA vs Switzerland matchup at the World Junior Championship.
Team USA will play their second game of the 2024 IIHF World Junior Championship today against Switzerland. It is one of only two games scheduled for today with Germany vs Sweden being the other game.
USA has a stacked team and is considered a favorite to win the competition. They can take another step toward that today with a win against Switzerland. Switzerland opened their tournament yesterday with a 3-0 loss to Slovakia. Gavin Brindley scored two goals - including the game winner - in their 4-1 win against Norway.
