"The game was somewhat reminiscent to Sweden's 5-2 win over Italy earlier in the week, with the States dominating on the shot clock but suffering from some less than stellar goaltending to keep the game tight headed into the final frame. The Danes pushed the States to the point where they trailed 4-3 going into the third period, but the States kept the pressure up and eventually scored two goals to ice the game and take the 6-3 victory."
"Denmark capitalized on their chances early on, carrying a 2-1 lead into the second period. Nick Olesen opened the scoring for the Danes less than two minutes into the game before Minnesota Wild forward Matt Boldy evened it up less than two minutes after that. Nicholas Jensen scored the second goal for the Danes just over halfway into the period."
"In the third period, Jake Guentzel scored assisted by Matthews to make it 5-3 before Jack Hughes put the finishing touch on it, scoring off a bank-in to make it 6-3 and eventually ice the game. Boston Bruins goaltender allowed three goals on 21 shots to win the game after a shaky start before tightening things up later in the game to hold on for the victory."
The United States remain undefeated at the 2026 Milano-Cortina Olympic games after a 6-3 win over Denmark. The U.S. controlled shots but experienced inconsistent goaltending that kept the score close through two periods. Denmark led 2-1 early and took a 4-3 advantage into the third after a late second-period goal. The U.S. scored two third-period goals, including a Matthews-assisted tally by Jake Guentzel and a bank-in by Jack Hughes, to secure a 6-3 victory. Auston Matthews recorded one assist and now has one goal and one assist in two games. Boston Bruins goaltender allowed three goals on 21 shots but settled to preserve the win. The U.S. will face Germany next in round-robin play.
