It’s Day 5 of the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics with eight gold medals on the line today. The first went to Switzerland’s Franjo von Allmen, who added Alpine skiing’s super-G to his downhill and team combined titles. U.S. star Ryan Cochran-Siegle repeated his Beijing feat with a fine silver.

Here's a look at how to watch the Winter Olympics men's hockey's first day of competition, featuring two games. Most men's hockey teams' games will be shown live on USA Network, with every game streamed on Peacock. Slovakia vs. Finland, 8:40 a.m.

NHL players are returning to the Olympics for the first time since 2014. Here are the rosters and schedule, plus how to watch:

Sebastian Aho called representing Finland in his Olympics debut “a dream come true” and the Carolina Hurricanes center is ready to win gold.

Mikko Lehtonen has been here before. Finland is counting on that being a huge plus for their men's hockey team at the 2026 Winter Olympics. After all, Lehtonen won a gold medal in Beijing in 2022. That's right -- the Finnish squad is the reigning gold medalist.

If Sweden and Finland aren't at the top of Group B at the conclusion of the preliminary round, then the Olympics will have turned upside down.

Lehtonen is not the only player on Team Finland with Olympic experience. Dallas Stars defenseman Miro Heiskanen was playing for HIFK in Liiga, Finland's top hockey league, and Seattle Kraken forward Eeli Tolvanen with Jokerit of the Kontinental Hockey League, when they were Lehtonen's teammates at the 2018 PyeongChang Olympics.

Team USA improves to 2-0 and extends Olympic winning streak against Finland with a 5-0 victory. Megan Keller recorded a goal and two assists the at Milan Cortina Games.

The NHL players compete in the Winter Olympics for the first time since 2014, as the 2026 Men's Hockey Tournament is scheduled to start on February 11 in Milan. There will be 12 teams competing in the group stage,
