Olympic hockey 2018 schedule: Times, TV channels, and live stream info for Thursday, Feb. 15

Thursday at the 2018 Winter Olympics brings a heavy dose of hockey action across the spectrum for your eyeballs to enjoy. In total, five games between the men’s and women’s tournaments are set to be broadcast throughout the day as the action continues during the first week of the Olympics.

All of the games will be broadcast live on television and live streamed on NBC’s Olympic website.

Starting off the day at 2:40 a.m. ET is the final women’s tournament round robin game, as the Russian team and Finland finish off Group A. So far this tournament, Russia has been shut out twice in games against the United States and Canada, bringing in an extra bit of motivation to finish the tournament strong. Finland also has taken two losses at the hands of the heavyweight teams, so one of these two will come away with their first win of the tournament.

Also at 2:40 a.m. ET will be a Group C match between Norway and Sweden. Norway ended last Olympics in 2014 with no wins in the preliminary stages before falling to Russia in the qualification playoffs. On the other hand for Sweden, the team went 3-0 in the preliminaries before falling to Canada in the gold-medal match. This will also be our first look at Rasmus Dahlin, the projected No. 1 pick for the upcoming NHL draft.

The men’s Group A will have the Czech Republic and host nation South Korea suit up at 7:10 a.m. ET. This will be South Korea’s first Olympic opportunity, while the Czech Republic pulled out one win four years ago in the preliminaries. The team finished seventh overall then fell to the United States in the quarterfinals.

Likewise at 7:10 a.m. ET, Canada will get their first crack at the preliminaries this year. The country is favored despite not boasting NHL talent, but other favorites this year have had trouble in their opening games. Facing Canada will be Switzerland, who had two wins four years ago but bowed out to Latvia in the qualification playoffs.

Finishing out the day will be the United States vs. Slovakia at 10:10 p.m. ET. The United States is in a near-must-win situation after dropping their first game of the tournament in overtime. Slovakia is coming off a stellar win against the Russian team as the leaders of Group A, and they’ll look to extend their lead with a victory on Thursday.
