After a statement 5-1 win over Latvia to open their Olympic campaign, Team USA takes the ice on Valentine's Day with a chance to seize total control of Group C. With a win against Denmark, the Americans would sit alone at the top and have the inside track to the quarterfinals.
The landscape of the group shifted significantly on Saturday morning when Latvia stunned Germany 4-3. This has put three teams level on points at the top, with the U.S. able to leap them with a win against the Danish. Denmark lost to Germany in its opening game and is fighting for survival.
After the first period, though, the United States is trailing Denmark 2-1. The Danish scored first just two minutes in, and though Matt Boldy was able to equalize, a shot from nearly half-ice got by Jeremy Swayman. The U.S. trails after 20 minutes and will look to come back and play their brand of hockey in the second.
Here's the box score from the game so far.
