Olympic hockey has finally arrived. The men’s tournament at the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026 opens on Wednesday, featuring NHL players for the first time since the 2014 Sochi Games. The Boston Bruins have eight players from the organization representing their respective countries.

The 2026 Winter Olympic Games are underway in Italy and several Devils are taking part, representing their countries in Men’s Ice Hockey: Nico Hischier, Timo Meier and Jonas Siegenthaler (Switzerland),

Days after the Games officially opened, the 2026 Winter Olympics have already created a number of indelible images.

Elias Pettersson is projected to center Sweden's third-line, while Filip Hronek will quarterback Czechia's first-unit power play.

U.S. cross-country skier Ben Ogden won silver in the men's sprint classic, as did the U.S. curling team in mixed doubles.

The United States women's hockey team has begun to blow out archrival Canada, leading 4-0 with seven minutes left in the second period. Hannah Bilka scored her second goal of the night, assisted by Abbey Murphy, and Caroline Harvey, for the second time of the game, as well.

To date, at least two European athletes have also broken their medals. In a moment captured on German TV that subsequently went viral, biathlete Justus Strelow suddenly realized as he danced with teammates that the mixed relay bronze he'd won on Sunday had detached from the ribbon around his neck and clattered to the floor.

The NHL Winter Olympics break runs from February 6 to February 24. This two-week break will give players the chance to reset and allow any ailments to heal. Of course, there are many players partaking in the Milano Cortina
