Don’t-miss event

In the last game of the round-robin preliminaries, the U.S. men’s hockey team can take a big step toward proving it’s a bona fide gold medal contender when it faces Canada tonight (7, MSNBC). Chris Drury and Team USA are headed to the knockout portion of the tournament either way, but a win would give them immeasurable confidence — and an important bye into the quarterfinals
