MILAN—The United States came back to beat Denmark 6–3 in the Olympic preliminary stage on Saturday, as the podium contenders muscled their way to a second win in the men’s ice hockey tournament.

Matt Boldy scored in the first period for the Americans while Jack Eichel assisted Brady Tkachuk in the second and netted another goal a minute later. Defenceman Noah Hanifin, Jake Guentzel and Jack Hughes added goals, restoring order to what had been a surprisingly tight contest.
