Good morning (or afternoon) (or evening) everyone! Welcome to the live blog for the men’s Olympic hockey quarter-final game between the USA and Czech Republic.

The USA had the second overall seed after the round robin and avoided the qualification games. Jonathan Quick will be in net but nothing else has changed for this team for the tournament.

The Czech Republic got a scare after a 4-0 game yesterday turned into 4-3 but managed to sneak away with the win.

Join us for the live blog that starts around noon Eastern.
