Canada and the United States will each play two tune-ups before the tournament gets underway. Team USA will take on Austria and Finland — the team that sent them home in the quarters in 2020 — in pre-tourney games. The Canadians meet Sweden before facing off against the team they beat in last year’s gold-medal game, Russia.
