Martin Pospisil and Team Slovakia kept the momentum rolling Friday at the 2026 Winter Olympics, edging the host Italy 3–2 in preliminary round action.
Pospisil, the lone representative from the Calgary Flames at the Olympics, skated 14:01 at centre alongside Milos Kelemen and Pavel Regenda, finishing the night with one shot on goal.
Former Flames forward Adam Ruzicka found the scoresheet with a goal for Slovakia in the win.
Team Slovakia (2-0-0-0) looks to remain unbeaten as they turn their attention to Team Sweden to wrap up their preliminary round on Saturday.
