概要
Canada enters the semifinals undefeated with a 3-1 record in group play. The team defeated Czechia 5-0, Switzerland 5-1, France 10-2, and Czechia again 4-3 in overtime to advance. Finland earned their spot with a dramatic 3-2 overtime victory against Switzerland on Wednesday. This will mark only the second Olympic meeting between these nations in tournaments featuring NHL players, the first being a 5-0 Finland victory in 2006 also held in Italy.
San Jose Sharks forward Macklin Celebrini has emerged as the tournament's leading scorer with five goals after his performance against Czechia. The 19-year-old has become the fourth player ever to score in four consecutive Olympic games involving NHL players. Celebrini now has 81 points in 55 games this season with the Sharks. He and Colorado Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon lead the entire NHL in midrange goals and shots this season, with MacKinnon recording 16 goals and 110 shots, while Celebrini has 15 goals and 101 shots.
Finland's goaltender Juuse Saros has been exceptional throughout the tournament, posting a 1.49 goals-against average and a .938 save percentage while stopping 91 of 97 shots faced. In his regular season with the Nashville Predators, Saros carries a 3.20 goals-against average and .892 save percentage across 44 games.
Canada will aim to establish early dominance while maintaining the strong goaltending of Jordan Binnington, who made a crucial save on Czechia's Martin Necas on a breakaway late in the third period of their quarterfinal victory. Finland will need to replicate the urgency and third-period intensity that allowed them to overcome a two-goal deficit against Switzerland.
Beyond the Olympics, the NHL regular season resumes February 25 with an eight-game slate of games. The roster freeze imposed during the Olympic break will lift on February 22, allowing teams to execute trades leading up to the March 6 trade deadline. Several teams remain active during the break, with general managers allowed to discuss potential trades even though they cannot be finalized until the freeze ends.
The Los Angeles Kings acquired forward Artemi Panarin from the New York Rangers before the Olympic break in exchange for forward Liam Greentree and two conditional draft picks. However, the Kings faced a setback when Kevin Fiala suffered a season-ending leg fracture while competing for Switzerland in the men's tournament. The Kings are one of five teams within ten points of the Anaheim Ducks for the second Western Conference wild-card spot, making roster decisions critical.
The competitive landscape remains tight across both conferences. In the Eastern Conference, six teams sit within eight points of the Boston Bruins for the final wild-card position. Teams are evaluating whether they will become buyers or sellers before the deadline, with many organizations uncertain about their playoff positioning after the Olympic break.
Players who did not represent their nations at the Olympics began returning to practice as early as Tuesday. Teams like the New Jersey Devils have recalled players from their American Hockey League affiliates including goaltender Jakub Malek, defensemen Dennis Cholowski and Colton White, and forward Lenni Hämmenaho from Utica to prepare for the regular season resumption.
The gold medal game will conclude the men's hockey tournament on Sunday. Slovakia, Finland, Canada, and the United States all advanced to the semifinals after an exciting quarterfinal round that featured three games decided in overtime.
