Get ready for some intense hockey action as the 2026 Milano Cortina Olympics qualification playoff games are set to begin! Among the matchups on Tuesday, No. 5 Switzerland faces off against No. 12 Italy, while No. 8 Czechia takes on No. 9 Denmark. But here's where it gets controversial... While both teams have had their fair share of wins and losses, Switzerland has a strong track record against Italy, having tied in the Torino Olympics in 2006. However, Italy has been on a roll in recent years, so this game is anyone's guess. As for Czechia and Denmark, they've never faced each other in the Winter Games with NHL players before, making this a fresh and unpredictable matchup. Don't miss out on the excitement as these teams battle it out for a spot in the next round! But which team will come out on top? That's the question on everyone's mind. And this is the part most people miss... While both teams have their strengths, Denmark has a strong forward in Nikolaj Ehlers, who scored his first career Olympic goal on Sunday. Will this be enough to secure a win against Czechia? Stay tuned to find out! And now, a word from our sponsor...
