  • Bet on Quinn Hughes to record a point at -250 for his fifth straight Olympic game.

MILAN – The United States men’s hockey team is taking on Slovakia in the semi-finals and are 2.5 goal favorites. This is somewhat of a revenge game for Team USA, as Slovakia knocked the United States out of the tournament in the 2022 Olympics in the quarterfinals.

This Olympics, however, the USA has their star players from the NHL and are looking to stay undefeated and make it to the gold medal match on Sunday.

Matt Boldy Over 3.5 Shots On Goal -135

Matt Boldy has averaged over 5.5 shots on goal per game over the last three games, with an eight-shot on goal game against Germany. For the semifinal matchup against Slovakia, legal sports betting sites have Boldy’s SOG line at 3.5.

  • Matt Boldy Over 3.5 SOG -135
  • Matt Boldy Under 3.5 SOG +105

Slovakia has not been able to stop their opponents from taking shots on goal, averaging 34.75 shots on goal per game against in the 2026 Olympics.

Quinn Hughes Over 0.5 Points -250

Quinn Hughes has scored at least one point in all four games for the USA so far and should have plenty of momentum following his game-winning goal in overtime against Sweden. Hughes has five total assists and has been one of the best overall skaters for the United States.

The young defenseman should have plenty of opportunities to record a point, as Team USA is favored at legal Olympic betting sites to score over 3.5 goals against Slovakia.

USA Over 1.5 Goals In The Second Period +100

Team USA has been hot in the second period so far in these Olympics, scoring at least two goals in three of their four games. In the overtime win against Sweden, the USA’s only goal scored in regulation  took place in the second period.

The United States hockey team has outscored their opponents in the 2026 Olympics 9 to 1 in the second period.
