Team USA has won its opening game in the 2026 Olympic men's ice hockey tournament, upending Latvia by a final score of 5-1.
The contest was not without some drama, as the first period included two successful coach's challenges from Latvia that wiped U.S. goals off the board.
After that, however, the ice seemed to tilt the Americans' way, and goals from Tage Thompson, Auston Matthews and a pair from Brock Nelson were the difference.
