"With two days of World Juniors preliminary round action in the books, all ten teams have played at least one game out of their four-game group stage schedule. Unlike those first two days of the tournament, Sunday's action will only see two games taking place. This will be the first of just two preliminary round days where only two games are set to take place."
"Despite winning 3-2, there were times in the Slovakia game where Sweden looked to be heading for disaster. One moment in particular was the game-tying goal from Tobias Tomik, which would put the Slovaks in position to steal a point with just nine minutes left in the third. However, Ivar Stenberg would get the game-winning goal with just about four minutes left, saving Sweden from being the first upset victim of the 2026 World Juniors."
All ten teams have now played at least one game of the four-game preliminary group stage. Sunday's schedule features only two games: Switzerland vs Sweden at the Grand Casino Arena at 1:00 PM CST and Finland vs Latvia at the 3M Arena at 3:30 PM CST. Sweden narrowly beat Slovakia 3-2 after Ivar Stenberg scored a late game-winner following a game-tying goal by Tobias Tomik. Switzerland can pursue an upset by playing strong defense and keeping the score within three goals after thirty minutes. The projected score for Switzerland vs Sweden is Sweden 3, Switzerland 1. Finland aims for a second straight win.
