Overview
- Finland rolled past the United States 6-2 on Monday, led by Lenni Hämeenaho’s two goals with Mikko Lehtonen and Olli Määttä each posting two assists.
- Through three games, the U.S. sits at 1-2 in Group A after Friday’s 3-1 opening loss to host Switzerland and Sunday’s 5-1 rebound win over Great Britain.
- Isaac Howard scored twice in Sunday’s victory against Great Britain, and goalie Devin Cooley made 18 saves in that game.
- The roster remains in flux, with the Associated Press reporting Matthew Tkachuk is set to join Tuesday as NHL schedules free more players to travel.
- Teams play seven group games and the top four advance to the knockout round, which raises the stakes for the Americans as last year’s champions seeking another run.
