US EditionAfter Struggling Early, U.S. Men's Hockey Team Dispatches Denmark 6-3 in Group Stage of Winter Olympics
- On Feb. 14, 2026, Jeremy Swayman allowed a roughly 95-foot goal by Nicholas B. Jensen, giving Denmark the lead during the men's preliminary game.
- After lineup deliberations, Team USA chose Jeremy Swayman over Jake Oettinger, with Connor Hellebuyck backing up, because Swayman's NHL form weighed into the decision, Sullivan said.
- A shot from just past the center red line by Nicholas B. Jensen sent, sailing over Jeremy Swayman’s glove and into the net, reminiscent of a 2002 Olympic goal by Vladimir Kopat.
- Broadcasters said the goal `could get talked about for years to come`, complicating goaltending decisions amid three games in four nights and Hellebuyck's backup role.
- Favored by 4.5 goals, Team USA faces Denmark in the first of a back-to-back before a crucial Sunday game against Germany.
