The U.S. arguably has one of the best trios in the tournament, with Connor Hellebuyck as the reigning NHL MVP, Jake Oettinger a clutch playoff performer and Jeremy Swayman in the midst of perhaps the best season of the three.

There is no lack of confidence on either side of the border, though the narratives range from effusive praise to lingering questions.
