2026 Olympic men’s hockey: Top standouts from Finland vs. Slovakia
It only took one game in the 2026 men’s Winter Olympic hockey tournament for an upset, with Slovakia – the defending bronze medalists – beating the 2022 Olympic champions, Finland, 4-1 to kick off the event.

Juraj Slafkovsky had two goals and an assist, and Samuel Hlavaj made 39 saves for Team Slovakia in a 4-1 win against Team Finland in a Group B preliminary-round game at Santagiulia Arena on Wednesday.
