Player to watch

The New Jersey Devils forward has four points (one goal, three assists) in four games for Switzerland at the Olympics. Selected by New Jersey with the No. 1 pick in the 2017 NHL Draft, he has 42 points (19 goals, 23 assists) in 57 games this season.

Finland: Mikko Rantanen has four points (one goal, three assists) in three games for Finland. The Dallas Stars forward headlines a strong team full of NHL players. Rantanen has 69 points (20 goals, 49 assists) in 54 games this season. He had three assists in a convincing 11-0 win against Italy in the group stage.

Will win if

Switzerland: Goalie Leonardo Genoni has an outstanding game. He made 20 saves in a 3-0 win against Italy on Tuesday but is expected to be a lot busier against Finland. The 38-year-old, who plays for EV Zug in Switzerland, has an impressive 0.99 GAA with a .962 save percentage in three games. He will have to be the best player for Team Switzerland to pull off the upset.

Finland: It can put together another solid effort similar to the one against Team Sweden, winning 4-1. Finland has enough talent to get past Switzerland. It will be important to try and score early and not let Switzerland hang around in the game and grow in confidence.

EDGE Stats to watch

Finland forward Rantanen (Dallas Stars) ranks tied for sixth in the entire NHL in high-danger goals (17) and in the 91st percentile at his position in midrange shots on goal (50) and total skating distance (165.12 miles).

The skinny

With all the NHL talent on its roster, Team Finland should be able to handle Team Switzerland. However, the Swiss should not be underestimated and are capable of pulling off a big upset. If Finland goalie Juuse Saros continues to play well, it should be able to move to the semifinal.

(2) Team United States vs. (7) Team Sweden (3:10 p.m. ET; Peacock, NBC, ICI Télé, CBC Gem, SN)

Player to watch

United States: Forward Auston Matthews has five points (three goals, two assists) in three games. The Toronto Maple Leafs captain has 48 points (26 goals, 22 assists) in 51 games this season. Matthews had two goals and an assist in a 5-1 win against Germany in the final Group C game for the United States.

Will win if

Sweden: Jacob Markstrom has an outstanding game to keep the United States from running away with it. The New Jersey Devils goalie is capable of stealing a game and will have to be at his very best in the quarterfinal. This is the third meeting at the Olympics with NHL players against the United States. Sweden won 2-1 in the round-robin in 2006 and 4-2 in the round-robin in 1998.

United States: It can get timely saves from goalie Connor Hellebuyck and generate enough quality scoring opportunities to trouble Markstrom. The United States should have enough offense to get past Sweden if it can convert on its opportunities. Scoring first will be key for the U.S.; it does not want to have to chase the game by falling behind against a talented Sweden blue line, led by Victor Hedman of the Tampa Bay Lightning.

EDGE Stats to watch

United States forward Brady Tkachuk (Ottawa Senators) leads the NHL in offensive zone time percentage (49.5) and ranks among the forward leaders in both high-danger shots on goal (58; 95th percentile) and hardest shot (91.14 mph; 90th percentile).

The skinny

It will be important for the United States not to look past Sweden. This is a tougher quarterfinal matchup than expected with Sweden losing its first game to Finland and finishing third in Group B based on goal difference. The United States may look to have the stronger roster, but Sweden is loaded with international experience and has grown stronger as its gone along in the tournament.
