Men’s Olympic Hockey 2026: Schedule and results for the tournament

The men’s Olympic Hockey tournament kicked off on Wednesday with NHL athletes being present at the games for the first time in over a decade. The sports’ biggest stars are in Milan, and national pride is on the line with Canada sending one of the most ridiculous scoring lineups in recent memory, led by Connor McDavid and Nathan McKinnon, while Team USA is putting an emphasis on the forecheck.

While all eyes are on Canada and USA, every nation has at least once standout player because of this shift to NHL talent. Here’s the full schedule for men’s hockey and the results as they happen.

Slovakia 4, Finland 1

Canadiens forward Juraj Slafkovský scores two goals in the win to open the games for Slovakia.

Sweden 5, Italy 2

Sweden had far too much trouble converting their scoring opportunities early in the game for a team full of NHL players against Italy, who had none. They finally started the onslaught late — but this team will need to get better moving forward.

Switzerland 4, France 0

New Jersey Devils wing Timo Meier scored twice as Switzerland dominated France with 43 shots on goal.

Canada 5, Czechia 0

Canada came out of the gate a little sluggish as the all-world team of NHL talent built its chemistry, but it wasn’t long before they pulled ahead and never looked back. Scoring four goals in two periods it’s clear the Canadians will be a team to beat these Olympics.

Germany 3, Denmark 1

The real story of this game was Freddie Anderson, with the Hurricanes’ goalie continuing his NHL struggles on the international stage by allowing three goals on 26 shots. Leon Draisaitl scored for Germany, while Tim Stützle of the Ottawa Senators netted two.

USA 5, Latvia 1

It took a period for Team USA to get going, with two overturned goals in the opening period — but after that they never looked back. Brock Nelson served as the difference maker with the Minnesota native scoring two goals in complete domination of a Latvia team that got run off the ice.

Finland 4, Sweden 1

Mikko Rantanen sealed the victory with an empty-netter in a game where Sweden failed to get any real offense going.

Slovakia 3, Italy 2

Italy’s stubbornness is incredible despite being the only nation without any NHL players on its roster.

Czechia 6, France 3

Czechia has plenty of offensive prowess with Martin Necas and Davis Pastrnak, but as we draw closer to the knockout stage there has to be a little concern in a defense that allowed France to score three goals on only 12 shots.

Canada 5, Switzerland 1

Everyone got on the board for Canada in this one with Macklin Celebrini, Connor McDavid, Sidney Crosby, Nathan McKinnon, and Thomas Harley running over Switzerland en route to the big win.

Latvia 4, Germany 3

A huge upset as Latvia manages to score four goals on just 22 shots to upset a loaded German team. It’s a huge boost to Team USA in Group D with all three of their group opponents now losing a game.

Sweden 5, Slovakia 3

Elias Pettersson scored two goals in the critical win for Sweden who are trying to advance in the tournament. For Pettersson it was a great showing ahead of the NHL trade deadline where his name will be heavily featured.

Finland 11, vs. Italy 0

Finland showed absolutely zero chill in demolishing the host nation with 11 goals on a staggering 62 shots. That was just mean, Finland.

USA 6, Denmark 3

USA’s forwards were able to prevail despite a weak showing from Jeremy Swayman in net. Defense and the forecheck made a huge impact as it limited Denmark’s shots and took home the win.

Switzerland 4, Czechia 3

It took overtime to settle this group stage game with Switzerland finally prevailing. Their reward is a fairly easy qualifying game against Italy.

Canada 10, France 2

The best team in the Olympics faced the worst, and yeah — you can see what happened. Nine different goal scorers put it in the net for Canada, with Macklin Celebrini scoring two. France managed only 14 shots in the game, so credit for scoring at all.

Denmark 4, Latvia 1

Denmark were out-shot 35-21 in this game, but still managed to make the most of their opportunities in the 4-1 win. They now face a difficult qualifier against Czechia.

USA 5, Germany 1

Auston Matthews broke out with two goals in the USA route where they out-shot Germany 37-24. Quality looks was the name of the game, and USA proved it’s a gold medal worthy team.

Germany 5, France 1

An easy start to the qualifying round for Germany scoring five goals by five different goal scorers in the win.

Switzerland 3, Italy 0

Switzerland amassed a staggering 51 shots on goal en route to the 3-0 win over the host nation.

Czechia 3, Denmark 2

Freddie Andersen’s nightmare season continues as the goalie allowed three goals on 26 shots to spell an end to Denmark’s campaign.

Sweden 5, Latvia 1

This was a greatest hits of Swedish hockey with five scorers getting on the board. One of the big things about this Sweden team is what a difference maker Rasmus Dahlin has been from the blue line as a distributor.

Slovakia 6, Germany 2

Slovakia dropped the hammer on Germany in the quarterfinals as Pavol Regenda of the San Jose Sharks scored two goals in the win.

Canada 4, Czechia 3 (OT)

Canada was forced to sweat this one out as Czechia out-muscled them for much of the game and got more quality chances. Ultimately some heroics from Nick Suzuki sent the game to overtime on a stunning deflection — then Mitch Marner drove the nail into the coffin with a beautiful individual goal.

Finland 3, Switzerland 2 (OT)

Another game had to be settled in overtime with Finland fighting back from being two goals down to win in the extra period. Artturi Lehkonen was the hero, scoring the game-winning goal with little over three minutes passing in overtime.

USA 2, Sweden 1 (OT)

A rather pedestrian 1-0 game gave way to late drama as Sweden scored with 1:31 left on the clock to send the game to overtime before Quinn Hughes shut the door with a rocket that propelled USA into the semi-finals.
