Following Friday's announcement of the U.S. men's roster for the 2026 Winter Olympics—largely carrying over the 4 Nations Face-Off team—high-profile omissions like Jason Robertson sparked disappointment, while newcomer Brock Nelson honors a family Olympic legacy. Selections prioritize physicality and defense over pure scoring.
Brock Nelson scored a hat trick, including two quick goals in the first period, to lead the Colorado Avalanche to a 4-1 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Sunday. The win improves Colorado's record to 35-6-9 while handing Toronto a fourth straight home loss. Nelson, bound for the Olympics with Team USA, now has 13 goals in his last 13 games.
