Per Ken Campbell at The Hockey News here is how the rest of the Olympics set up...
The seeds going into the rest of the tournament are as follows:

3. Russia
4. Finland
5. Czech Republic
6. Canada
7. Slovakia
8. Switzerland
9. Belarus
10. Norway
11. Germany

Here are the four games in the qualification round Tuesday:
Czech Republic vs. Latvia
Canada vs. Germany
Slovakia vs. Norway
Switzerland vs. Belarus
Then we move on to the quarterfinals Wednesday, which will feature:
1. Winner of Switzerland-Belarus vs. USA
2. Winner of Slovakia-Norway vs. Sweden
3. Winner of Canada-Germany vs. Russia
4. Winner of Czech Republic-Latvia vs. Finland
Then the semifinals, which are slated for Friday:
Winner of Game 1 vs. winner of Game 4
Winner of Game 2 vs. winner of Game 3
And, of course, the winners of those two games face off for the gold medal Sunday. The losers play for the bronze Saturday.
...the schedule definitely gives the Americans a great chance to make the medal round.

interesting that Canada and Russia can't both medal. both were favorites to make the gold medal game; thus proving the importance of the preliminary round.
