After a statement 5-1 win over Latvia to open their Olympic campaign, Team USA takes the ice on Valentine's Day with a chance to seize total control of Group C. With a win against Denmark, the Americans would sit alone at the top and have the inside track to the quarterfinals.
The landscape of the group shifted significantly on Saturday morning when Latvia stunned Germany 4-3. This has put three teams level on points at the top, with the U.S. able to leap them with a win against the Danish. Denmark lost to Germany in its opening game and is fighting for survival.
After the first period, the United States is trailed Denmark 2-1. But, similar to the opener against Latvia, the team exploded in the second, scoring three goals. A late goal by Denmark has the game at 4-3 for the United States going into the final frame.
Here's the box score from the game so far.
