- Heading into the quarterfinal matchup with Sweden at the Milan Santagiulia Ice Hockey Arena Wednesday night, Team USA had not won in its previous eight Olympic meetings with the Swedes, going 0-6-2 in that span, dating to 1960.
- The two best chances of the opening period for the United States came when Jack Eichel found space in the right circle and ripped a one-timer off a cross-ice feed, but Sweden goaltender Jacob Markstrom flashed the glove on a terrific reach-back save to keep it scoreless. Later, a strong forecheck by Brady Tkachuk forced a turnover that led to Jack Hughes firing from the faceoff circle, but his shot was right at Markstrom, who made the stop.
- Both teams recorded double-digit shots on goal in the first 20 minutes, but neither generated a true Grade A opportunity as the game remained 0-0 at the first intermission.
- As the second period went on, both teams generated stronger chances, but neither broke through until just under nine minutes remained. Dylan Larkin opened the scoring by tipping home Jack Hughes’ point shot, with Quinn Hughes earning the secondary assist, to give the United States a 1-0 lead. Jack Hughes’ assist increased his total to four in as many games, while Larkin scored his first Olympic goal in the stars and stripes.
- In the third period, Team USA continued to apply defensive pressure, limiting Sweden’s time and space and killing off an early power-play to remain perfect on the penalty kill throughout the Games. The clock continued to wind down in the final period as both teams traded sustained pressure and tension built inside the arena. Hellebuyck continued to stand tall, turning aside several quality chances until the final minutes, when Sweden tied the game with 1:31 remaining. The quarterfinal matchup would head to overtime with the U.S. leading in shots on goal, 34 to 29. They only registered just 4 total shots in the third period.
- Overtime, a 10-minute sudden-death period played 3-on-3, would decide the outcome. Quinn Hughes would be the late-night hero after he found an open window and sneaked a rare one past Markstrom, assisted by Matt Boldy and Auston Matthews.
- The Americans won the defensive battle, outshooting Sweden 40-29 in the end. They move on to face Slovakia in the semifinals, while Canada will meet Finland in the other semifinal matchup.
