The two favorites of the 2025 World Juniors will go head-to-head to further the two nations’ hockey rivalry.

This matchup is the last game of the opening round before teams advance to the knockout stages. Canada and the United States each have two wins and one overtime loss. Both are tied for the lead in the Group A.
The United States had an 18-9 goal differential, while Canada posts a 9-3 differential.
