Two games still remain in the World Cup of Hockey's preliminary stage, but three teams have already punched their tickets to the tournament's semifinals.

Sweden, winners of Group B, will face Europe on Sunday afternoon, while Canada, the undefeated winners of Group A, will play either Russia or North America on Saturday night in Toronto.

Simply put, if Russia beats Finland on Thursday, they're in. If not, it's the kids versus Canada.
