Team USA men’s hockey team was less than two minutes from advancing to the Olympic semifinals with a 1-0 win over Sweden before New York Rangers center Mika Zibanejad tied the game to keep the Swedes alive.
But on an extended shift in the 3-on-3 overtime period, Minnesota’s Quinn Hughes rocketed a shot past goaltender Gabriel Landeskog and off the pipe to keep the Americans in medal contention.
“I think he’s a game-changer,” said Team USA head coach Mike Sullivan after the win.
“He is, whether it be with our transition game or jumping off the blue line, a unique player. To have him as part of this group this year is, I think, a huge boost for us.”
Next up for the U.S. is a clash with Slovakia on Friday, who beat Germany 6-2 in their quarterfinal matchup and have seven NHL players on their roster.
Which brings us to today’s quiz. Hughes was named the 2023-24 Norris Trophy winner for the top-defenseman in the NHL. How many of the players to win the Norris Trophy since 1975-76 can you name in five minutes?
Good luck!
