"Commonwealth Avenue made it's presence felt on Saturday in the Yanks' win over Denmark. And the Americans needed every bit of that Green Line contribution. The US got two goals from Boston College products and two more from Boston University alums. Jack Eichel had a goal and two assists while Noah Hanafin's second period goal held up as the game-winner in the Americans 6-3 win over the Danes."
"Swayman's introduction to Olympic hockey was a nightmare. The Danes got on the board just 1:40 into the game. Zach Werenski's breakout pass attempt was stopped by Oscar Fisker Molgaard at the right point and he threw it toward the net. Nick Olesen tipped the puck and Swayman made a good save on the redirection but the rebound went off Werenski's skate and through Swayman's pads. It was the Americans' first deficit in these Olympics - but not their last."
""I thought we had a tough time executing in the first period," American captain Auston Matthews told NBC. "You've got to give the other team credit. They played hard the whole game. I thought we just had to be patient with our game and crawl our way back into it. It's not about how you start, it's how you finish and I thought we finished really strong.""
Team USA beat Denmark 6-3 in Milan, with two goals from Boston College alumni and two from Boston University graduates. Jack Eichel contributed a goal and two assists while Noah Hanafin's second-period goal stood as the game-winner. Denmark opened the scoring 1:40 into the game after a turnover and a rebound off Werenski's skate slipped through Jeremy Swayman's pads. Backup Danish goalie Mads Sogaard started while Freddie Andersen was reportedly being rested. Swayman allowed two long-distance goals and struggled, likely ending his Olympic playing time, despite the Americans' statistical dominance and strong finish.
