The Danes aren't used to the attention their homeland has received of late, but focus at Olympics is on building hockey program

On Saturday, Team USA battles it out with Denmark in Round Robin play. What best bets are we making as Team USA looks to improve to 2-0 in Men's Olympic Hockey?

Tim Stutzle scored two goals for Team Germany in a 3-1 win against Team Denmark in a Group C game at the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026 at RHO Arena in Milan on Thursday. Leon Draisaitl had a goal and an assist, and Philipp Grubauer made 37 saves for Germany (1-0-0-0).

Germany and Denmark face off in this Group C men's ice hockey matchup during the 2026 Winter Olympics on Thursday.

Denmark already achieved what some consider its equivalent of the “Miracle on Ice” at the 2025 IIHF World Championship last May. Now, it heads to the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026 hoping to somehow top that.

The U.S. turned up the heat right from the opening puck drop of the second period, and it was all Team USA in the final 40 minutes. The Americans had the Latvians running around in their own zone for the entire second period, and Brock Nelson managed to bury a couple of goals.

Figure skaters Madison Chock and Evan Bates took the silver medal in ice dancing, with Laurence Fournier Beaudry and Guillaume Cizeron of France taking the gold. Jordan Stolz won gold and set an Olympic record in men’s 1,000-meter speedskating.
