2. Tyson Foerster
It's been a few years since he wore the maple leaf, but after potting 25 goals and 43 points this season, the Flyers winger is back. Foerster brings a gold medal with him from the 2022 World Juniors, where he had three goals and six points.

3. Sam Ersson
Ersson joked he was a maybe for Worlds, but he has undoubtedly risen on Tre Kronor's depth chart. The goalie had one of the most-talked-about performances at 4 Nations and will not be third-string this time, playing at home in Sweden.

4. Canada's stacked roster
Canada brought the big guns. Aside from the Flyers, the Canadian roster is filled with superstars like Sidney Crosby, Nathan MacKinnon, and Macklin Celebrini. And how good is this lineup? Marc-André Fleury pushed retirement a month to play.

5. Is this the year for the U.S.?
The Americans haven't won gold since 1960, but have been in the bronze medal game three of the last four tournaments. Loaded with young stars like Logan Cooley, Will Smith, Clayton Keller, and Jeremy Swayman in net, the U.S. has a chance.
