The Winter Olympics have moved past the preliminary rounds and into the elimination rounds with medals on the line. One nation certainly stood out above the rest.

Team Canada dominated preliminary play with three wins, outscoring opponents by a score of 20-3 along the way. Canada earned a 5-0 victory over Czechia, a 5-1 win over Switzerland, and a 10-2 drubbing of France.

Team USA also went 3-0 in preliminary play, but were involved in much closer games, eventually pulling away from Latvia in a 5-1 win and surviving a scare from Denmark in a 6-3 win.

Before the Qualifications and Quarterfinals are held, here’s an update on the Philadelphia Flyers’ participants and how they have performed.

Travis Sanheim – Team Canada

Travis Sanheim started the Olympics as a healthy scratch in Canada’s 5-0 win over Czechia on Feb. 12. When Josh Morrissey suffered an injury in the opener, Sanheim entered and was a plus-2 in 10:17 in Canada’s 5-1 win over Switzerland, serving as the seventh defenseman.

In Sunday’s preliminary finale, Sanheim was paired with Drew Doughty in the 10-2 victory against France. Sanheim had two penalty minutes, two shots on goal, and was a plus-3 in 18:53.

Canada claimed the top overall seed and will next play in the Quarterfinals on Wednesday against the winner of Czechia-Denmark.

Dan Vladar – Team Czechia

Dan Vladar served as the backup goalie behind Lukas Dostal for Czechia for the team’s first game against Canada, a 5-0 loss, and final game against Switzerland, a 4-3 overtime loss. Vladar was the starter in the middle game against France, allowing three goals in short order in the second period, but helping secure Czechia’s only win of preliminary play in a 6-3 final. Vladar made nine saves on 12 shots.

Czechia will face Denmark in the Qualification round on Tuesday.

Rasmus Ristolainen – Team Finland

Rasmus Ristolainen was the only Flyers’ participant to play in all three games for his team. Ristolainen had three shots on goal in 19:49 in a 4-1 loss to Slovakia to open play on Feb. 11.

Ristolainen had two penalty minutes, one shot on goal, and was a plus-3 in 19:58 in a 4-1 win over Sweden on Feb. 13. In the final game on Feb. 14, Ristolainen had two assists, three shots on goal, and was a plus-5 in 18:22 in an 11-0 win over Italy.

Finland will next play in the Quarterfinals on Wednesday, facing the winner or Switzerland-Italy.

Team USA

The US was also undefeated in preliminary play, but it didn’t come without a few close calls. They were locked in a close game against Latvia to open play before eventually pulling away with a 5-1 win.

They trailed Denmark, 3-2, in the second period, before scoring the next four goals to secure the 6-3 win.

USA closed out preliminary play with a 5-1 win over Germany to lock in the second seed.

Team USA will next play in the Quarterfinals on Wednesday against the winner of Sweden-Latvia.
