DAY 13 RECAP: Greaves Blanks U.S.; Semifinal Field Finalized

Day 13 of the 2026 IIHF Men's World Championship on May 28th delivered high-stakes quarterfinal drama, headlined by a massive North American clash in Fribourg. In the marquee matchup, Canada exacted revenge for their Olympic gold-medal loss by shutting out the United States 4–0. Goaltender Jet Greaves was the undisputed star, putting on a 34-save masterclass to completely stymie the Americans. Macklin Celebrini opened the scoring before Dylan Holloway doubled the lead, while Connor Brown and Sidney Crosby iced the game with empty-netters. Meanwhile, Finland marched steadily into the final four with a business-like 4–1 victory over Czechia. Led by Sakari Manninen and Lenni Hameenaho, the disciplined Finns jumped out to an early cushion and never looked back, booking a heavyweight semifinal date with Canada.

The remaining matchups featured a roaring home crowd and a historic underdog run. In Zurich, host Switzerland sent the arena into a frenzy by outlasting Sweden 3–1. After Sweden took an early lead, captain Roman Josi hammered home the blue-line equalizer before setting up Denis Malgin’s second-period game-winner, keeping the Swiss undefeated. They will face a highly resilient Norway squad, who comfortably dispatched Latvia 2–0 in Fribourg. Backed by a locked-in defensive performance, the Norwegians stymied the Latvian attack to secure their highest tournament finish in modern history and set up a massive Saturday showdown against the hosts.
