The Finland women's ice hockey team said they're confident they'll have a full squad against Team USA on Saturday, after their opening game at the Olympics was postponed due to a stomach flu.

By Trevor Stynes MILAN, Feb 10 (Reuters) - Sweden ended the group stage of the women's Olympic ice hockey tournament on maximum points after a 4-0 win over Japan at Milano Rho arena on Tuesday, a result which eliminated their opponents from the competition.

The men aim for the first Olympic gold since the "Miracle on Ice", while the women seek revenge for the gold medal game loss vs. Canada in 2022.

Four Florida Panthers players and two staff members take the ice Wednesday to represent their home countries in the Milan Winter Games.

It’s Day 5 of the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics with eight gold medals on the line today. The first went to Switzerland’s Franjo von Allmen, who added Alpine skiing’s super-G to his downhill and team combined titles. U.S. star Ryan Cochran-Siegle repeated his Beijing feat with a fine silver.

MILAN (AP) — Don't under-estimate Finnish resilience. Difficult as the week was for Finland’s national women’s hockey team in dealing with a stomach virus that sent 13 of 23 players into quarantine, coach Tero Lehtera had a good feeling his players would show up ready for their first game at the Milan Cortina Olympics.
