MILAN (AP) — Injured captain Marie-Philip Poulin's absence was evident in Canada's 5-0 loss to the U.S. on Tuesday night in the first of what is usually two showdowns at the Olympics between the two powerhouses of women's hockey.

Canada is back in action on Feb. 9 against Czechia and then they take on the United States in the most anticipated game of the women's Olympic tournament on Tuesday Feb. 10. All of the women's hockey tournament can be streamed live on NBCOlympics.com and Peacock.

MILAN (AP) — U.S. figure skater Amber Glenn has smoothed out copyright concerns with the artist behind one of the pieces of her free skate music, and the Olympic team gold medalist thinks she may have struck up a new friendship with him because of it.

“Poulin at the Olympics is undeniable. She is a big reason why Canada could potentially topple a dominant top-ranked Team USA. Poulin scored the winning goals in the gold medal games of 2010, 2014 and 2022, and she is the only player, male or female, to score in four consecutive gold medal games.

Canadian skaters Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier narrowly held onto third place in the rhythm dance segment of the ice dancing competition on Monday after a wardrobe malfunction nearly proved costly at the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics.

Maltais joined a select group of skaters in 2022. With a gold medal in the team pursuit event at the 2022 Beijing Games, she became just the fourth skater in history — and the first Canadian — to win an Olympic medal in both speed skating and short track.

The sports may be the biggest draw at the 2026 Olympic Games, but the food reviews from Natalie Spooner could be a close second.
