Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics Men’s Ice Hockey Quarterfinals: How to Watch
The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Men’s Ice Hockey Quarterfinals will begin this evening, Eastern Time, with the United States taking on Slovakia in the first game. The United States went undefeated in group play, and secured a spot in the Quarterfinals as the top seed. Other teams that earned a spot in the Quarterfinals based on group play performance include Finland, the Russian Olympic Committee, and Sweden.
The qualifying round, involving teams that didn’t earn enough points in group play, just concluded with Slovakia shutting out Germany 4-0, Denmark earning a 3-2 victory over Latvia, Switzerland eliminating Czechia with a 4-2 win, and Canada besting China by a score of 7-2.
Now that the final eight is set, Quarterfinals will be played with the four winners advancing to the Semifinals. There are a couple of interesting matchups, and there’s no guarantee who will advance to the Semifinals. With that said, here’s how you can watch these games.
