The 2026 Winter Olympics women’s hockey tournament enters its third day of competition on Saturday, Feb. 7, with the USA trying to pick up its second win.
Two teams, however, will be playing their first game.
Thursday’s Finland-Canada opener was postponed because of a norovirus outbreak on the Finnish team. That game will be played Feb. 12 instead.
Finland will face the top-seeded USA, which defeated Czechia 5-1 on Thursday. According to ESPN, Finland had 14 players available at Friday’s practice while the rest were quarantining.
Canada, the defending Olympic champion, will face Switzerland. The Swiss Ice Hockey Federation announced, though, that a member of the women’s team has tested positive for norovirus. It said the positive test became known after Switzerland beat Czechia on Friday.
The player had been quarantined since symptoms appeared and was symptom free on Friday morning, the federation said. The women’s team skipped the opening ceremony as a precaution.
Saturday’s other two games are Germany vs. Japan and Sweden vs. Italy.
