Locmelis Torches Germany as Latvia Stuns for First Olympic Win Since 2014
Latvia pulls off the upset of the Olympics so far, knocking off Germany in a thriller that has fans buzzing about Dans Locmelis owning the ice. The Latvians, outgunned on paper with fewer NHL stars, rally back from an early deficit to hand the Germans their first loss and grab their initial Olympic victory since Sochi. With Leon Draisaitl logging heavy minutes and firing shots for Germany, this Group C clash ramps up the pressure heading into the final prelim games.
