Team USA continued their Olympic men's hockey dominance with a convincing 6-3 victory over Denmark on Saturday. The Americans improved to 2-0 in Group C play after previously defeating Latvia 5-1. Brock Nelson led the scoring charge with two goals, helping the US secure six points and position themselves atop their group.

Offensive contributions came from across the roster as Jack Eichel, Jack Hughes, Matthew Tkachuk, and Quinn Hughes each recorded two assists. Auston Matthews, Tage Thompson, and Brady Tkachuk rounded out the goal scorers. The strong performance puts the US in prime position to earn a first-round bye in the knockout stage.

Denmark, who fell to Germany 3-1 in their opener, couldn't match the American firepower despite their competitive effort. With the US now controlling Group C, attention turns to their next matchup as they aim to maintain their perfect record through the preliminary round.
