The United States advanced to the quarterfinals of the men's ice hockey tournament at the 2022 Winter Olympics following a 3-2 victory over Germany.

The win also secures Team USA the top seed in the playoff round after the U.S. won all three of its preliminary-round games.

Only two minutes into the contest, the United States found itself behind by a goal. Patrick Hager capitalized on a power play and got his stick on a pass by Matthias Plachta to beat American goaltender Drew Commesso.
