States last game is against Slovakia, a Slovak win in regulation would eliminate the States from the playoff round.

I have to believe a 12 save shutout is likely one of the easiest blankings for Calvin Pickard in his career.

US did just enough (i.e. got the game to OT) against Slovakia to advance to the playoff round.

Corey Perry being dirty? Colo(u)r me shocked.

Canada's Corey Perry might face further sanctions for his antics against Finland's Patrik Laine. IIHF has already begun investigations regarding the incident. IIHF made the initiative independently, not due to Team Finland's protest.

- This is standard procedure. Every incident is reviewed. There have already been multiple cases during this tournament, IIHF Communications Manager Adam Steiss told Ilta-Sanomat.

How will the case proceed?

- If Perry's actions are seen as severe, he will be called in for a hearing. We are not at that stage at the moment.

If a hearing were to be held, Perry's fate lies with the 12 person disciplinary committee.

How soon should we expect decisions?

- The case must be resolved before the next match.
