"It wasn't the beatdown they expected, but Team USA hockey defeated Denmark 6-3 on Saturday to remain undefeated at the 2026 Winter Olympics. The U.S. fired 47 shots on Denmark's goalies, Mads Sogaard who exited the game in the third period with an apparent injury and Frederik Dichow. The U.S. sits atop Group C at the Olympics with two wins. Jack Eichel had a team-high two points (one goal, one assist) as 13 different Americans got on the scoresheet."
"But it was goaltender Jeremy Swayman's mishap a few minutes later that became a talking point throughout the first half of Saturday's game. Danish defenseman Nicholas B. Jensen beat Swayman with a long wrist shot from center ice. Though replays suggested that the puck may have grazed the shin of American forward Matt Boldy, Swayman missed the puck. He had a clear view of Jensen's shot and didn't make the easy save."
