U.S. men's hockey team beats Slovakia 6-2 in Olympic semis, will face Canada in gold medal game

The U.S. men's hockey team rolled past Slovakia in a 6–2 victory Friday, clinching a spot in the Olympic gold medal showdown against Canada. The two sides will face off on Sunday. 

Jack Hughes scored two goals, including one with a highlight-reel individual effort. The U.S. had no trouble against the Slovaks, who made an improbable run and were simply overmatched.

It's the first time in 16 years that the U.S. men's hockey team has advanced to the gold medal match.
