It's exciting to see NHL players back in the Olympics for the first time since 2014, bringing a wave of star power to Team Canada.
Canada kicked off the Olympics on a high note, impressively defeating Czechia 5-0 in their opening match.
On Thursday, five different Canadian players, including Macklin Celebrini and Nathan MacKinnon, found the back of the net, marking the first Olympic game with NHL players since 2014. Since Czechia is Canada's main rival in Group A, this strong start is definitely a boost for Team Canada.
Meanwhile, Switzerland also made a great start, winning 4-0 against France, setting the stage for an exciting underdog story. Timo Meier scored twice for the Swiss, and goalkeeper Leonardo Genoni earned a shutout with 27 saves.
Here’s a look at the box score from Canada’s matchup vs. Switzerland.
