For the first time since 2014, the U.S. and Canadian men's ice hockey teams will meet at the Olympics.
The two heated rivals missed one another back in 2018 as each played in different groups. But in each of the past two winter Olympics, the pair have delivered thrilling matchups.
Back in 2014, Carey Price posted a shutout against the United States and Jamie Benn lifted Canada to the gold-medal game with the goal in a 1-0 victory. Canada would go on to claim gold in that year's games. Back in 2010, the United States picked up the early win in the pool round, but Sidney Crosby scored in overtime of the gold-medal game to win the event for Canada in a 3-2 finish.
Each team won their first matchup to open up play and set up a battle of 1-0 teams in Group A.
Canada collected goals from Jordan Weal, Daniel Winnik, Alex Grant, Maxim Noreau and Ben Street to beat Germany 5-1. Sean Farrell led the United States with a hat trick, and Matthew Beniers, Brendan Brisson, Noah Cates, Ben Meyers and Brian O'Neill each tallied scores, and Drew Commesso turned away all 29 of China's shot attempts in a dominant 8-0 victory against the host nation.
