Italy vs Canada: will the Canadians crush the opponent?

Italy are the only team at this Championship that is yet to score a single point. The team has only two games left to play, and the opponents are Canada and the United States. It is doubtful that Italy will be able to get even a draw. We remind you, that in the previous games Italy lost to the hosts of the tournament, Latvia (0: 3), and Finland (0: 3), and were absolutely destroyed by Kazakhstan with a score of 3:11.

Bettin's men made multiple mistakes in their own zone and simply did not have time to cover the shots made by the Kazakhs. In addition, the Italians very often committed fouls, for which they paid a high price - five conceded goals. If they act in the same undisciplined manner in the game against the Canadiens, they certainly will get crushed again.

Canada are fighting for a place in the playoffs, but so far the teams is in the sixth position of the standings having scored only six points. Of course, in the upcoming game, Canada will earn their three points, but if they lose in the final match against the Finns, the Maple Leafs will have to say goodbye to the Championship.

However, the Canadians are trying to improve their game and after three defeats in a row, they managed to win against Norway and Kazakhstan with the same score - 4:2. Canada struggle with attacking performance and taking advantage of their chances, which makes winning really tough for them. Gallan's charges make a lot of shots at the goal, but they could do with a bit more really dangerous moments.
