Team Canada opened the tournament with a 5-0 win over Czechia as Macklin Celebrini, Mark Stone, Bo Horvat, Nathan MacKinnon and Nick Suzuki scored. Connor McDavid had three assists, and Jordan Binnington made 26 saves for the shutout.

In curling, Rachel Homan looks to follow up her 10-4 win over Denmark when she faces the United States in her second round-robin game.

On the men’s side, the team skipped by Brad Jacobs defeated American Daniel Casper 6-3 on Friday morning at the Cortina Curling Olympic Stadium.

Jacobs, Marc Kennedy, Brett Gallant and Ben Hebert scored two points with a highlight-reel shot in the fourth end for a lead they wouldn’t relinquish. A steal of two in the eighth gave Canada a four-point lead and the Americans conceded after a single in the ninth.

Canada improved to 2-0 ahead of its evening game against defending champion Niklas Edin of Sweden. The Americans fell to 1-2.

In figure skating, Stephen Gogolev looks to climb the standings in the men’s free program. The 21-year-old from Toronto scored 87.41 points in the short program and sits in 10th place.
