Thursday marks the second day of the men’s ice hockey tournament at the 2026 Olympics in Milan Cortina.

On Wednesday, Slovakia stunned the hockey world by defeating Finland 4-1 in the first game of the tournament. Then, Sweden survived a spirited effort from the host Italians, winning 5-2 after allowing the opening goal in the first period.

With four games on the schedule on Thursday, that means eight teams are in action, consisting of all four from Groups A and C.

That includes the first contest for both Team USA and Canada, the heavy favorites for the gold medal.
