For decades, the narrative was “Canada vs. The World.” In 2026, the narrative has shifted: It\u2019s USA vs. Canada.<\/strong> With the NHL returning to the Olympic stage, Team USA is walking into Milan with a roster that looks like an All-Star team on paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tournament runs from February 11 to February 22<\/strong>, and for bettors, the value on the American squad is hard to ignore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \u2753 FAQ for US Fans<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          Is Auston Matthews playing?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

          Yes. Matthews is expected to center the top line for Team USA. He is a primary target for “Anytime Goalscorer” bets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          What is the tie-breaker\/points system?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          • 3 points<\/strong> for a regulation win.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • 1 point<\/strong> each for a regulation tie.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • 1 extra point<\/strong> for an Overtime (OT) or Shootout win.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • 0 points<\/strong> for a regulation loss.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            Will there be NHL-style rinks?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

            The Olympics usually use larger international ice, but for 2026, the trend has moved toward the NHL-standard 200′ x 85′ size<\/strong> to accommodate the speed of the NHL stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Can I bet on the USA to beat Canada in the Final?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

            Yes. You can currently bet on the “Finalists” market<\/strong> (Canada\/USA at 2.25) or wait for the Gold Medal Game lines to open on February 21.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
