The dream of an Olympic gold medal lives on for the USA men's hockey team thanks to some Milan Magic from Quinn Hughes.
The Minnesota Wild defenseman buried a shot into the back of the net in overtime to lift the United States to a 2-1 quarterfinal win over Sweden inside the Milano Santagiulia Ice Hockey Arena on Wednesday, Feb. 18. It marked the end of the third quarterfinal of the day to reach overtime at the 2026 Winter Olympics, a first in Olympics history.
Hughes' goal came after the United States lost a 1-0 lead with 91 seconds remaining in the third period when Sweden's Mika Zibanejad tied it. Hughes now has six points in four games for the United States.
The United States will now advance to the semifinals of the men's hockey tournament, where it will face Slovakia.
