Swayman won&#8217;t have to kick himself too badly for the blunder after some of his most talented teammates stepped up to make the long-distance goal from Nicholas B. Jensen and another soft one from Phillip Bruggisser with 2.6 seconds left in the second period moot.<\/p>\n<p>The goals by Tkachuk and Eichel \u2014 two-thirds of the top line along with Brady&#8217;s brother, Matthew \u2014 midway through the second period tied it and gave the U.S. the lead. Defenseman Noah Hanifin added another when his shot got through Mads Sogaard and trickled over the goal line a bit later, providing some breathing room that proved necessary.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/02\/14\/85bd214a-5987-4cae-b6f4-834a6ef63ead\/thumbnail\/620x414\/efce3c6d398ff6359cf187e58d0395bd\/gettyimages-2261682139.jpg#\" alt=\"Ice Hockey - Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics: Day 8 \" height=\"414\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/02\/14\/85bd214a-5987-4cae-b6f4-834a6ef63ead\/thumbnail\/620x414\/efce3c6d398ff6359cf187e58d0395bd\/gettyimages-2261682139.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/02\/14\/85bd214a-5987-4cae-b6f4-834a6ef63ead\/thumbnail\/1240x828\/9f98cd0ade09e542fc1c39600b2ded25\/gettyimages-2261682139.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Joachim Blichfeld of Denmark reacts after a missed shot in the third period during a Group C match against the United States in the Winter Olympics at Milano Santagiulia Ice Hockey Arena on Feb. 14, 2026, in Milan, Italy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Bruce Bennett \/ Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Jake Guentzel fired a one-timer past Sogaard with a little more than 12 minutes left, and Brady Tkachuk scored his second off a feed from Jack Hughes after Sogaard exited with injury and was relieved by Frederik Dichow.<\/p>\n<p>Captain Auston Matthews made the pass to Guentzel, and Zach Werenski \u2014 who accidentally knocked the puck into his own net on Denmark&#8217;s first goal credited to Nick Olesen \u2014 had the secondary assist to get some retribution.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;U-S-A! U-S-A!&#8221; chants from the very red, white and blue crowd filled the arena at the opening puck drop and after all the goals. Some fans in the stands had flags of Greenland, in light of recent rhetoric from U.S. President Donald Trump about taking control of the semiautonomous island overseen by Denmark.<\/p>\n<p>None of the geopolitics reached the ice, and multiple Denmark players last week downplayed any connection between the Greenland situation and the game against the U.S. as heavy underdogs.<\/p>\n<p>After rolling over Latvia 5-1 in their opener on Thursday night behind two goals from Brock Nelson, the Americans have six points in the standings, the same as Canada, going into the final day of the preliminary round.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. wraps up round-robin play against Germany, Canada faces 0-2-0 France and if they each win in regulation, the No. 1 spot in the single-elimination knockout round would come down to goal differential.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"chartbeat\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation
