Team USA lost to Canada in its last IIHF final in 1934, one year after defeating the Canadians to win the event. That remains the only gold medal in the IIHF World Championships for the United States to date. Sunday's final will start at 2:20 p.m. ET.

Team USA beat Sweden 6-2 to advance to the IIHF World Championship final for a chance at their first gold medal since 1933. With goals from players like Brady Skjei and Shane Pinto, the victory was secured despite a late Swedish rally.

With Saturday's 6-2 win over Sweden in the semifinals, the U.S. achieved its best result at hockey worlds since it won the 1950 silver medal.
