The Swiss team plays its last three preparation matches this weekend before the World Cup, which starts on May 10.
Coach Patrick Fischer’s men face Sweden on Thursday evening in Kloten (19:45), before traveling to Brno to challenge Finland on Saturday and the Czech Republic on Sunday.
Switzerland must confirm the improvement of the last two weeks in the Czech Republic. After losing 13 games in a row between the end of the 2022/23 financial year and the start of the 2023/24 season, it had four consecutive successes: two once morest France, without convincing, and two more reassuringly once morest Latvia.
However, the Swiss selection faces tougher opponents this weekend. These next three meetings should also enable the NHL players (Nico Hischier, Jonas Siegenthaler, Philipp Kurashev and Akira Schmid) to make their mark for the World Cup.
Other lesser-ranked elements benefit from one last opportunity to prove their place in the World Cup. But things can still change: certain finalists in the National League playoffs should be called up, just like the first “victorious” of the NHL playoffs, such as Nino Niederreiter.
