When will Canada play in the Qualifying Round?

[drhughes1]

I found the schedule confusing for the qualifying round.

Can anyone explain the scenarios when Canada would play this weekend? If they finish first in group B (1B below) then they would play the first place finisher in group D?

Saturday, May 7
9:00 AM 3A vs 3D -
10:15 AM 3B vs 3C -
2:15 PM 1A vs 1D -
2:15 PM 1B vs 1C -

And then follow the schedule of 1B for the rest of the qualifier?

Thanks for any insight.

Take care.

It depends where they finish in group B. Canada will play against best three of group C in next round (most likely Finland, Sweden and winner of Denmark/Ukraine game). Points against two other teams that advance from group B will be counted in.

Example (not Canada's group, but...)
Sweden and Denmark play a tie.
Finland wins Sweden.
Ukraine wins Denmark.

That would mean that Finland, Sweden and Ukraine would advance. Sweden lost point to Denmark, but as Denmark isn't in, Sweden has 2 points at the beginning of next round.

Thanks for the info.

So, if canada finished first in their division would their schedule follow 1B or if they finish second they would follow 2B? If they finish first they will play at 2:00 EST on Saturday? I just want to know times of games, not opponents at this point.

Thanks.
