Hockey|HS follows the last match of Leijoni’s initial group.
Finland will face Switzerland in the final match of the opening group of the Men’s Ice Hockey World Championships on Tuesday evening in Prague. The match starts at 21:20.
The match was expected to be a heated battle for the quarter-final place for the Lions, but Britain’s surprise win over Austria means that the Lions’ next place was secured already in the afternoon.
The quarter-final opponent of the Leijoni, who are ranked fourth in their group, has already been confirmed as Sweden, but Switzerland still has enough to contribute in the match. With a win, Switzerland would rise to second place in the group over the Czech Republic, and in the quarter-finals it would be Germany instead of the USA.
