Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/p>\n Germany vs Latvia<\/p>\n International Head-to-Head Record:\u00a0USA leads 8-1<\/p>\n Time:\u00a03:10 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST), 12:10 p.m. Pacific<\/p>\n How to Watch<\/a>: In Canada: SN, CBC, CBC Gem, TSN We open up Olympic hockey predictions with a Group C game between Germany and Latvia. The Germans are coming off a 3-1 win over Denmark in the Olympic opener. Team captain and Edmonton Oilers<\/a> standout Leon Draisaitl<\/a> opened the scoring just 23 seconds into the game. Ottawa Senators<\/a> sniper Tim Stutzle<\/a> registered a pair of goals<\/a> in the victory.<\/p>\n However, the big story was Seattle Kraken<\/a> goalie Philipp Grubauer<\/a> made 37 saves in the win. However, one wonders if he\u2019ll be saved for the Group C finale against the United States. This game could see Maximilian Franzreb or\u00a0Mathias Niederberger get the call. However, always check out social media to see who gets the start.<\/p>\n Latvia hung with the United States for one period. However, a four-goal outburst allowed the Americans to pull away for the victory. Renars Krastenbergs scored the goal that tied the game for the Latvians.<\/p>\n Columbus Blue Jackets<\/a> goalie Elvis Merz\u013cikins held strong for the first period-and-a-half. However, the United States pulled away in the second period, and we saw Pittsburgh Penguins<\/a> goalie Arturs Silovs<\/a> played the third period.\u00a0<\/p>\n Germany was outshot by Denmark in the first game, but the two goals by Stutzle were the deciding factor. This will be a tough game. However, the Germans should get the win.<\/p>\n Prediction: Germany wins 4-2.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Welcome to\u00a0Last Word On Hockey\u2019s\u00a0Olympic\u00a0Predictions.
