Olympic hockey rosters by NHL team: Lightning, Panthers lead with most players at 2026 Winter Games

After missing out on the 2022 Olympics, NHL players return to the international stage in Milan-Cortina.

The NHL has paused its season to allow its best players to compete in the 2026 Winter Olympics, which means Connor McDavid, Sidney Crosby and more will once again represent their countries. Last year's Four Nations Face-Off featuring NHL players was a huge hit, and players can build off that experience in an even bigger spotlight.

All 32 NHL teams will be represented at the Olympics, but some teams have a larger group playing in Italy than others. Here's a look at all the NHL players playing in the 2026 Olympics.

What countries have the most NHL players at the Olympics?

The four biggest favorites in the Olympics have rosters full of NHL players. Canada, Sweden and the United States are bringing rosters made up entirely of NHL professionals, while Finland has just one player who isn't a current NHL player on its roster.

On the flip side, Italy is not known for hockey and qualified for the tournament as the host country, so it's not surprise that its hockey team doesn't have an NHL player.
