Winter Olympics 2026: Will NHL Stars and Unstoppable Goalies Finally Bring U.S. Men the Golden Glory?

U.S. general manager Bill Guerin told reports after the roster announcement that chemistry was a big factor in the decision made to run back mostly the same team from the 4 Nations Face-Off. There were criticisms about the absences of Jason Robertson, Cole Caufield and Alex DeBrincat, three of the NHL’s top-eight goal scorers, but there was also a desire to include certain players with specific skillsets to fill roles to make it less of an All-Star team and more of a complete team.
