Leonardo Genoni News

Genoni will start Sunday vs. Czechia.

Genoni stopped all 27 shots that he faced in Switzerland's shutout win over France to start the tournament. Akira Schmid started vs. Canada, but the Swiss will come back to the veteran vs. Czechia. Genoni is on an insane run for Switzerland, allowing just two goals in his last seven international games.

Genoni will start Thursday vs. France.

Genoni is a 38-year-old veteran who has been excellent for Switzerland internationally over the years. That was especially the case at last year's Wold Championships when he helped the Swiss to a Silver Medal by going 5-2-0 with a 0.99 GAA, .953 SV% and four shutouts in seven games. In club play this season, he's 14-13-2 with a 2.38 GAA, 915 SV% and four shutouts for EV Zug, who sit in the middle of the league table. Genoni and Team Switzerland are -1450 favourites against France on Thursday.
