Team USA won its third Olympic men’s hockey gold and first since 1980 with a 2-1 overtime victory fueled by Jack Hughes' decisive goal and Connor Hellebuyck's 41 saves.
- On February 22, 2026, Jack Hughes scored the overtime, game-winning goal at Milano Santagiulia Ice Hockey Arena, beating Canadian goalie Jordan Binnington after a little more than one minute of extra time to secure Team USA men's hockey gold.
- During the third period, a high stick from Canadian forward Sam Bennett struck Hughes in the mouth, chipping a tooth and drawing blood, which led to a four-minute power play.
- Television coverage and a postgame NBC interview showed Hughes finished play with a bloody mouth and appeared to be missing front teeth.
- Amid celebration, Team USA honored the late Johnny Gaudreau, and Hughes told NBC's Kathryn Tappen `This is all about our country right now,` expressing pride shortly after the game.
- Social media quickly zeroed in on Hughes' injured teeth, with media outlets including The Sporting News and the NHL saying his teeth 'stole the show' after the game.
