Canada couldn't have started the Olympics any better, as the men's hockey favorites blew out Czechia in a 5-0 opening victory.
The Canadian team had five different players score on Thursday, including Macklin Celebrini and Nathan MacKinnon, in its first Olympic game with NHL players since 2014. As Czechia is Canada's biggest competition in Group A, that performance was bad news for the rest of the group.
However, Switzerland also began the Olympics strong with a 4-0 win over France itself, putting the team in position for a potential underdog run. Timo Meier scored twice for the Swiss in that game, while goalie Leonardo Genoni produced a 27-save shutout.
Here's how viewers can watch Canada play Switzerland in the Olympic men's hockey preliminary rounds.
