U.S. Women’s Hockey Team Prepares for Finland Match

Hilary Knight and the U.S. women’s hockey team are off to a promising start. They secured a solid 5-1 victory against the Czech Republic, and now they’re gearing up to face Finland, led by Petra Nieminen. The game is set for today, February 7, at 10:40 a.m. ET at the Milano Rho Ice Hockey Arena in Milan, Italy.

While the United States appears to have a strong momentum leading into the 2026 Winter Olympics, Finland has encountered some challenges. Their first match against Canada was postponed due to a norovirus outbreak, which left 14 players in quarantine.

Finland’s head coach, Tero Lehtera, expressed concerns, stating, “If they end up playing, it could affect the Canadian team and their health as well. We couldn’t put our players at risk.”

Viewing Options

If cable isn’t an option, there are live TV streaming services available to catch Olympic coverage for free. I personally recommend DIRECTV, which offers a 5-day free trial and various plans. The USA Network, among other channels, is included, allowing you to watch all the Olympic events. For those with a subscription, options like Peacock start at $10.99 monthly for comprehensive coverage.
