"Day 2 of the preliminary round will once again feature four games on the schedule. First, Germany and Slovakia will do battle at the Grand Casino Arena at 1:00 PM CST. Then, Group B action will resume as Latvia will play Canada in what will be a rematch of the 2025 World Juniors game that saw Latvia stun Canada in group play. That match will take place at the 3M Arena at 3:30 CST."
"The late-afternoon will see the United States continue their three-peat quest as they take on Switzerland in what will be the Swiss' first game of the tournament after having Boxing Day off. That game will take place at the Grand Casino Arena and will come with a 5:00 PM CST puck drop. To wrap up the day's action, Czechia will take on the top division-returnees Denmark; puck drop at the 3M Arena is set for 7:30 PM CST."
Day 1 produced both surprising and expected results, including Slovakia keeping it close with Sweden and Finland running away with the win against Denmark. Day 2 of the preliminary round schedules four games: Germany vs Slovakia at 1:00 PM CST, Latvia vs Canada at 3:30 PM CST, United States vs Switzerland at 5:00 PM CST, and Czechia vs Denmark at 7:30 PM CST. Slovakia must correct simple mistakes and penalties that cost them versus Sweden in order to secure the needed win. Germany will attempt to pressure Slovakia offensively and force errors. The predicted final score is Slovakia 3, Germany 2.
