Thomas Milic took over the goaltending job for Canada and continues to play well, posting a 1.69 GAA over four games.
They will be faced with a head-hot USA team that put on a dominating 11-1 performance in the quarter-final against Germany , including a hat-trick by Arizona Coyotes prospect Logan Cooley. The 18-year-old is now second in goals and points at the tournament, behind Bedard. St. Louis Blues prospect Jimmy Snuggerud is tied with Cooley for second in goals and is only one point behind his teammate.
Top goalkeeper draft prospect Trey Augustine has also impressed, posting a 1.36 GAA over four games.
This is the first time Canada and the USA meet at the World Juniors since the Americans won 2-0 in Edmonton in 2021 to capture their fifth title.
