Switzerland vs Canada Moneyline Prediction
- Moneyline Pick: Canada
Canada have yet to debut in this competition, as their match against Finland was postponed and rescheduled for February 12. Even so, despite beginning their campaign later than most teams, the Canadians remain overwhelming favourites here and shouldn’t have much trouble getting past Switzerland.
The gap in quality between the sides is simply too great right now.
The Canucks are widely regarded as the most dominant ice hockey team in the world, and their numbers back that up. The women’s ice hockey team hold an all-time record of 363 wins, 84 losses, and just three overtime defeats.

Even though they lost the 2025 World Championship to the United States, who had emerged as a formidable opponent, Canada shouldn’t have issues facing other teams around the globe.
Switzerland are coming off a comeback win against the Czech Republic in the opener on Friday. The helvetic side struggled badly in front of the opposing goal early on, but they delivered a valiant effort against the Czechs and ultimately won after a shootout and a third-period comeback.
Still, don’t expect the Swiss to be able to fight much against Canada. All signs point to the Canucks securing an easy win in this contest, and likely by a significant margin.
Switzerland vs Canada Player Prop
- Prop Bet: Marie-Philip Poulin over 0.5 goals
Canada have no shortage of offensive options to make a difference in a game where they’re favourites by a wide margin, but Marie-Philip Poulin should be the player to focus on.
The 34-year-old Quebec native, who plays for the Montreal Victoire in the PWHL, was named MVP of the 2025 World Championships after leading Canada with 12 points (four goals, eight assists) in seven appearances.
As if that performance wasn’t enough, Poulin is the only player, male or female, to have scored in four straight Olympic Games. Making it five in a row should be enough motivation to see the veteran forward try to score as soon as possible in this tournament.
Switzerland vs Canada Same Game Parlay
- SGP: Canada to cover +3.5 spread + Over 5.5 goals + Marie-Philip Poulin over 0.5 goals
Our three-leg parlay suggests that Canada should find a way to win this game rather comfortably. Aside from having a clear advantage in terms of talent and experience, they’re going to be more rested since they didn’t play in the opener, while Switzerland will only have one day of rest.
Canada have won by at least four goals in four of their previous five head-to-head meetings, and that trend should easily continue here.
We’re pairing that outcome with the possibility of hitting the over in the 5.5-goal market. Canada have scored at least four goals in four of their last five games against Switzerland, and their last eight games overall have produced at least five goals.

Last but not least, expect Poulin to find the back of the net. The star winger should be the focal point of the Canadian attack, and after being part of the All-Star team at the 2025 World Championships, she should be a player worth keeping close tabs on.
That’s particularly true since Canada should dominate here, setting up the stage for Poulin to have a plethora of chances to find the back of the net.
Switzerland vs Canada Team News
Switzerland Team News
Switzerland left the tournament opener against the Czech Republic without injuries, so the coaching staff will have a fully fit roster to choose from. Given their inefficiencies on offence and the final result, though, it wouldn’t be surprising if the Swiss team makes a few changes to accommodate things on offence.
Some of the players to watch for Switzerland should be Laura Zimmermann and Alina Muller, who found the back of the net in Friday’s game against the Czechs. Muller played a big role in the opener and recorded two points in the third period as Switzerland delivered a late comeback that resulted in a shootout win.
Canada Team News
Canada don’t have any fitness concerns ahead of their tournament opener, as they didn’t play against Finland on Thursday since the game got postponed.
The Canucks should take advantage of the fact that the entire roster competes regularly in the PWHL, the best league in the world, so they’re going to have a headache deciding the lines for this game.
Some of the players to watch on the Canadian roster include Poulin, Renata Fast, and Jenn Gardiner. Fast was part of the All-Star roster at the 2025 World Championships, while Gardiner posted 10 points in seven games at that tournament. Gardiner and Poulin should dominate the offence.
