Tuesday 22.04.2014, 14:00 • Kisapusto, Lappeenranta • U18 World Championship
     
    Group B:
    1st Czech Republic – 4 matches – 8 points (2 points Finland, 0 points USA)
    2nd Finland – 3 matches – 7 points (1 point Czech, ? points USA)
    3rd Switzerland – 4 matches – 6 points (3 points USA)
    4th USA – 3 matches – 6 points (3 points Czech, ? points Finland) (16:16:19)
     
    Czech Republic goes to the quarterfinals from the 2nd place and will encounter either Sweden or Russia in the quarterfinals. Switzerland moves on most likely from the 4th spot and will find its opponent in Canada, which needs to get only 1 point in today's match with Russia to secure the 1st place. If that wouldn't happen, Switzerland would play against Russia and Czech Republic would have confirmed Sweden as the opponent. There is also possibility that Switzerland will end in the 3rd place if USA won't get at least 1 point against Finland. In that case Sweden might encounter Switzerland in quarterfinals.

    Slovakia will play either with Finland or USA.
    Germany and Denmark won't move to quarterfinals.
