The United States opened its campaign at the men’s hockey world championships with a 4‑3 defeat to host Switzerland, leaving the Americans without a point in their first game and forcing them to regroup quickly for the next round.
Switzerland now shares the top spot in Group A with Finland, each holding six points, while the United States sits fifth in the standings, winless after the opening loss.

Next up, the United States will meet Great Britain at the Swiss Life Arena in Zurich, a venue that will also host the broadcast on the NHL Network, with live streaming available through Fubo and select Sling packages.
USA TODAY will provide continuous live updates throughout the contest, ensuring fans stay informed of every key moment and pivotal shift in momentum.
