The Hockey Gods are ever so generous
The final games of the preliminary round are Sunday, 2/21. The match ups are:
1. Russia vs. Czech Republic for Group B Supremacy
2. Canada vs. USA for Group A Supremacy
3. Sweden vs. Finland for Group C Supremacy
Basically, win your group and you advance to the medal round. The tie-breakers to determine the remaining teams to advance are kind of lengthy and I'm too lazy to sort through them all.
Edit: Okay, so this is how the Olympic hockey tournament works: Group winners (three teams) earn a bye in the qualifying round. A fourth team earns a bye based on various stats (see above link). The remaining eight teams then are paired in a qualifying round and the winner of those four games advance. The winners of the qualifying round then are matched up with the top four teams that earned byes and a standard bracket of eight teams fights for the medals. Got that?
