USA vs. Sweden box score: Full stats from 2026 Olympic men's hockey quarterfinals

After closing out a dominant 3-0-0 run through the preliminary round with a 5-1 statement win over Germany, Team USA enters the knockout stage as the tournament's number two seed. The Americans’ perfect record has earned them a high-stakes quarterfinal date with Sweden, a team that navigated a more turbulent path to reach the final eight. While the U.S. has looked like the most cohesive unit in Milan, they now face a do-or-die scenario where their undefeated start provides no safety net.

The bracket took its final shape after Sweden secured its spot with a convincing 5-1 victory over Latvia in the qualification round. That result set up this clash of styles: the high-speed, aggressive transition game of the United States against the structured, veteran-led defensive systems of the Swedes. While the U.S. cruised through Group C, Sweden finished third in their respective group, but they possess an NHL-heavy roster capable of playing the "spoiler" role that has historically plagued the Americans in this specific matchup.

After the first period, the teams remain scoreless. In the only quarterfinal game featuring all NHL players, the U.S. and Sweden have both had their chances, but goalies Connor Hellebuyck and Jacob Markstrom have stood strong. This game will be decided in the final 40 minutes.

Here is the box score and live action from today’s quarterfinal.
