Day three of the men’s Olympic hockey tournament is today and the first game we will be live-blogging is Sweden vs. Switzerland.

Sweden cruised to a win in their opening match-up with the Czech Republic while Switzerland needed a goal with under 20 seconds left in the game to break a goalless game and win 1-0.

In all likelihood, the winner of this game will be the winner of the group so there is a lot at stake here as the winner of the group avoids the first round of qualification games.

Join us for the live-blog as the game starts shortly after 7:30 AM Eastern time and the blog will be open about 10 minutes before that.
