Olympic updates: Nico Hischier, Timo Meier, Jonas Siegenthaler, Jesper Bratt and Jacob Markstrom have been eliminated, and Jack Hughes and Simon Nemec will meet in a semifinal matchup. [Devils NHL]
Updates from the home front:
“From Nico Hischier and Timo Meier for Switzerland to Šimon Nemec for Slovakia, the Devils are making an impact in Milan. That begs the question, how much are the players to blame for the Devils’ disappointing 2025-26 season, if at all?” [Devils on the Rush]

A lovely golden goal for Team USA:

The men’s semifinal games are set:
“Are we on an inevitable road to renewing the Canadian-American rivalry? Will Finland be able to clinch another medal with a win on Friday, and guarantee they will still be the country with the most medals in NHL Olympic hockey tournaments after 2026? Can Slovakia keep surprising and accomplish something no one predicted? Here’s what to watch for in the semifinal.” [Sportsnet]
“(Quinn) Hughes became the first defenseman to score an overtime goal in a knockout game at an Olympics with NHL players. He now has a goal and five assists in four games in the Olympics with only two defensemen posting more points in a single Olympics with NHL players (Erik Karlsson, eight points in 2014 for Sweden, and Brian Rafalski, eight points in 2010 with the United States).” [The Athletic ($)]
