The United States will face Canada in the Gold Medal game at the 2021 World Junior Hockey Championship from Edmonton, Alberta on Tuesday night.
This will be the first time these two teams have met in the title game since 2017 when the United States beat Canada 5-4 in a shootout. They both arrived in the gold medal game in different fashion. Team USA gave up a 3-1 lead last night and were searching for a goal with only 76 seconds left in the game, they got it from Arthur Kaliyev to beat Finland 4-3. Canada has just cruised through the tournament without allowing a goal, they are coming off an onslaught win over Russia 5-0.
This will be a fantastic game tonight against the two biggest rivals in hockey, USA versus Canada. Here is everything you need to know to stream the action tonight:

Prediction: This is a tough one since Canada has steamrolled opponents in this tournament but it’s always a good one when these two meet. I do see value in this United States team, they have never given up and have played very well as of late. I’ll take the 1.5 goals with the US as well as USA ML.
Bet: USA +1.5 (-105). USA ML +260
