United States Drops Denmark

     Team USA scrambled by Team Denmark 6-3 in Group C of men's hockey in Milan at the 2026 Winter Olympics on Saturday. Team USA finished undefeated and first in Group C with a 2-0-0 record. They will face Team Germany on Sunday. 
     Team Denmark surprisingly found themselves ahead 2-1 at the end of the first period. They took a 2-1 lead on a shot by Nicholas B. Jensen all the way from the red line at 11:16. 
     It became 3-2 for Team USA following two offensive faceoff wins during the second period. Matthew Tkachuk poked the puck ahead for a Jack Eichel goal in the right circle with 9:37 left in the frame. Former Florida Panthers center Vincent Trocheck had the primary assist on a pass in the neutral zone and Noah Hanifin got a tally from the inner left circle to give them a 4-2 advantage with 2:37 remaining in the second.
