Jeremy Swayman starts for Team USA vs. Denmark in his Olympic debut, replacing Connor Hellebuyck.

Boston Bruins goalie Jeremy Swayman will make his Olympic debut as Team USA’s starter in a preliminary game against Denmark, stepping in after Connor Hellebuyck opened with a win over Latvia. Swayman, who posted a 22-12-3 record with a 2.92 GAA and .903 save percentage this season, earned the role following a strong showing at the 2025 World Championships, where he helped lead the U.S. to gold. Head coach Jim Sullivan has not yet confirmed the goaltender for the final preliminary game against Germany, with Jake Oettinger also on the roster, indicating a planned rotation to manage workload and prepare for the medal rounds. The U.S. lineup remains largely unchanged from its opener, with top lines intact but still seeking better 5-on-5 performance.
