What Canada hopes will be a three-game run to a title begins Friday with a matchup against Slovakia, the fourth qualifier from Group A. Slovakia went 1-3 in group play, but all three losses came by just one goal, including a game that put a serious scare into the United States.
Canada has overmatched teams in the World Juniors to this point, but Slovakia has hardly made anything easy for its opponents.
A win on Friday would take Canada one step closer to winning a championship on American soil, though the U.S. might stand in Canada's way before a champion is crowned.
Here's what you need to know to watch Canada face Slovakia in the quarterfinals of the World Juniors on Friday night.
