Day three at the 2022 World Juniors was originally supposed to have two games, USA vs Switzerland and Canada vs Austria. Due to COVID related reasons, the United States have forfeited their game against Switzerland. Switzerland receives a 1-0 regulation win (3pts) in the standings, while the United States receives a regulation loss (0pts). The United States is scheduled to play their next game tomorrow at 9:30pm ET against Sweden, but the IIHF will announce the status of that game either tonight or tomorrow morning.
