Team USA’s World Junior game against Switzerland forfeited due to COVID issues
Bad news, friends. Due to COVID-19 positive tests on their team, the United States has forfeited their Tuesday afternoon preliminary round game against Switzerland at the World Junior Championship.
Officially, the game is recorded as a 1-0 Switzerland win. As of now, it’s unclear if the United States will be able to play Wednesday’s game against Sweden. The IIHF is expected to release an update on that game’s status on Wednesday morning.
Calgary Flames 2021 first-round pick Matt Coronato is a first line winger on Team USA, representing his country for the first time. Team USA won the gold medal at last year’s World Juniors.
