Unless we get crazy results tomorrow, Russia will be the 3rd seed, Denmark will be 5th/6th (likely 6th), Czech Republic will be 7th and Switzerland will be 10th so we already have a potential first round match-up.

Situation before last 4 preliminary round games

 

1.   7  Preliminary Round over

2. 6 (+10)  still to play vs Germany

3. 6  (+6)  still to play vs Sweden

----------------

4. 6  (+4)  still to play vs Finland

----------------

5. 6  (+1) Preliminary Round over

6. 3  (+2)  still to play vs China

----------------

7. 4 Preliminary Round over

8. 3  (-3)  still to play vs USA

9. 0  (-3)  still to play vs Slovakia

---------------

10.   1 Preliminary Round over

11.   0  (-7)  still to play vs Latvia

12.   0  (-9) still to play vs Canada

 

So if the preliminary round ended today the Round of 16 pairing would be

 

-    winner in QF against

-    winner in QF against  

-    winner in QF against  

-    winner in QF against

Given their play, I think > and > in regular time is very likely to occur.

 

That will give the United States the top seed and the FIN/SWE winner the second seed. Canada will finish either 4th or 5th depending on whether FIN/SWE ends in regular time, but will face the loser in the quarterfinals. The 5th seed will likely face China.

 

Germany will face the winner of Slovakia/Latvia as an 8/9 seed match while the loser will likely face Denmark as the 11th seed (Latvia could be a 10th seed and face if they lose in OT and scored at least one goal).

 

Of course if Germany decides to show up tomorrow things will move around.
