Pre-Tournament Prognosis
Finland: A team that could surprise, but unlikely to make it past the Quarter Finals if they qualify.
Norway: Relegation candidate. Most likely to be in Division I next year after just earning a promotion for this year.
Russia: Strong team, should be a contender to finish with a medal.
Sweden: The host are heavy favourites to win gold, and they have the team to do just that.
Switzerland: (See Finland)
