With just one win from their first four games in the tournament, Latvia needs to hit a winning streak in their last three group games, the first of which is against the US.

It is more do-able than it might seem at first with the US shorn of most of the star players who turned out for the Olympic games, just as Latvia are without several NHL stars of their own.

Coverage on LTV and LSM starts at 12:30 with the match itself live from 13:20.

Expect the streets and shops...
