USA vs. Sweden Preview
Sweden is coming off a 5-1 win over Latvia yesterday.
Team Sweden is a talented roster that includes multiple NHL stars, such as Adrian Kempe, Gabriel Landeskog, and Mika Zibanejad.
Team USA last played on Sunday when they defeated Germany 5-1 and secured the first-round bye to get into the quarterfinals.
Auston Matthews led the US with a pair of goals in the win.
Leg 1: Team USA -1.5
The United States will face its toughest test at the Olympics in this matchup, but I give them the edge.
The Americans have been clicking on the offensive end, but the X-factor in this game will be the United States defense.
I give the US a significant advantage in the net with Connor Hellebuyck, and I expect them to limit Sweden's offense in this matchup.
Leg 2: Jack Eichel 3+ SOG
The former second overall pick has cashed this prop in two of three games in the Olympics.
Eichel's high usage will bode well for this prop.
Additionally, Eichel is on the top power-play unit, where he should earn multiple shots on goal.
