Team Canada has come across as every bit the title favorite thus far, with Sidney Crosby, Nathan MacKinnon, and Travis Konecny each recording 11 or more points throughout the group stage. Their defensive responsibility and depth on offense have left them all but unstoppable.
Simultaneously, Denmark comes in as a distinct underdog—but by no means one to be overlooked. Following their loss of their first three contests, the Danes rebounded with four consecutive victories, including a shootout thriller versus Germany that earned them a playoff spot. Fourth-year veteran forward Nicklas Jensen and goalie Frederik Dichow will be the ones to watch if Denmark is going to have any chance at upsetting the Canadian powerhouse.
What's at stake: Canada looks for gold, Denmark plays for history
The stakes are as high as ever. For Team Canada, a victory would be another step closer to regaining gold and wiping away the sting of last tournament disappointments. For Team Denmark, reaching the semifinals would be a historic moment in the nation's hockey history.
