Thursday, February 12: vs. Latvia (3:10 p.m. ET)

Sunday, February 15: vs. Germany (3:10 p.m. ET)
Team USA is expected to cruise through group play against Latvia, Denmark and Germany.
The Americans own an overwhelming talent edge over all three nations. Germany might pose a threat because of Leon Draisaitl, but the overall German roster is not as good as the USA squad.
A group win would mean the Americans advance straight to the quarterfinals. They have to win three knockout-round games to capture the gold medal.
Auston Matthews, Brady and Matthew Tkachuk and Jack and Quinn Hughes are the headline names on the Olympic roster.
Matthews is one of seven American players with 25+ goals in the NHL this season. Matt Boldy is the leader of the American Olympic contingent with 32 goals. Look for Kyle Connor, Dylan Larkin and Jake Guentzel to be scoring threats in support of the stars as well.
