Switzerland - Italy
Switzerland is a better team here leaded by NHL stars Roman Josi, Kevin Fiala and Nico Hischier. Switzerland is a massive favorite and it's hard to find anything to play from here besides point scorers. Switzerland has all of their eggs in one basket as Josi, Fiala and Hischier are all playing in the first line. Italy will most likely have Andreas Bernard in goal, who has been really decent in Finnish league. I believe that Swiss NHL stars will make it happen for home team and score some points in their opener.
Kevin Fiala will score [1.92]
Nico Hischier will score [1.92]
Kevin Fiala 2 points or more [2.00]
Nico Hischier 2 points or more [1.85]
Denmark - France
Two teams that don't really have any NHL stars on their teams. Denmark has Mikkel Bödker but France has none. Denmark has played 7 pre tournament games (2 wins, 5 losses) and France has played 7 as well (3 wins, 4 losses). Denmark is favorite in this game, but France can surprise the Danes.
Nicklas Jensen was one of the top point scorers for Jokerit in KHL this season (23+19=42) in 54 games and he's playing in Denmark top line along side Regin and Bödker. With also getting powerplay time, Jensen has a good chance to pick up two points in this game.
Nicklas Jensen 2 points or more [3.50]
Germany - Great Brittain
There's only one team in this game and it's Germany, who is leaded by Edmonton Oilers star Leon Draisaitl. Germany won 3 of their 7 pre tournament games, Draisaitl scoring points in every game he played (3 games 5+2=7). Draisaitl will get loads of playing time and also time on powerplay, so he should be able to produce for Team Germany right from the start.
Leon Draisaitl 2 goals or more [3.20]
