U.S. Shakes Off Two Early Disallowed Goals to Top Latvia

The U.S. men's hockey team stares down two first-period goals wiped clean by Latvian challenges-one offside, the other a strict IIHF goalie interference call that might've stood back home in the NHL. Stars like Brock Nelson, Quinn Hughes, and J.T. Miller feel the sting, but the locker room stays ice-cold, no panic in sight as they regroup. That poise sets the tone for a second-period barrage, reminding everyone why this squad packs NHL firepower on the Olympic stage, with Denmark lurking next.
