The first weekend of the women's Olympic hockey tournament features six electric matchups, including the U.S. and Finland puck drop on Saturday.

Team USA opened Olympic play with a 5-1 win over Czechia on Thursday led by Hayley Scamurra's two goals and the Stars and Stripes are looking to roll that momentum straight into this next matchup.

Saturday will be the first game of the Olympic tournament for Finland after the team's game on Thursday was postponed against Canada due to a stomach flu. At least half of the Finnish players were sick with the Norovirus or were quarantined due to potential exposure. However, the team announced on Friday that they're hopeful they'll be ready to play Team USA, even if it means suiting up a reduced squad.

"Today, we had seven forwards, three defensemen and three goalies. This situation changes so fast," Finland's head coach Tero Lehtera said on Friday. "We will play the USA, no matter what. If we have five players, one goalie, we will show up. That is the rule: five plus one."

The Americans, however, are feeling good and are ready to roll after dominating Czechia in their first game.

"Game one under the belt, everyone did extremely well," Hilary Knight said after the win on Thursday. "For us, it's just simplifying the game. And, you know, everyone's played hockey for decades. So, at this point, everyone's battle tested," she added.

One thing's for sure; team captain Knight is just getting started. While the five-time Olympian said she plans to retire after the Milan Cortina Games, she's been clear that gold is her ultimate goal.

Knight netted a goal in the win over Czechia and the next time she lights the lamp she'll make history, once again. Right now, she's one goal behind retired players Natalie Darwitz and Katie King for most career Olympic goals (14) in team history.

On the ice, U.S. head coach, John Wroblewski, talked about the physicality of the matchup against Czechia on Thursday and commented on the team's preparation going forward.

"The hitting, the hooking. I was telling the referees that they could have used any part of the rule book," Wroblewski said after the game. "If that is the standard we will be ready for it in the next couple of games," he added.

The coach also talked about the sheer athleticism of 22-year-old defender Laila Edwards and her impact on the American game plan, as well as the team's success.

"She is tall and lanky with a big wingspan and can get wide on you, but she is really good with her tight stickhandling. She can plod along and slow things down but also get up and down and gallop and control the pace of play," Wroblewski said Thursday.

Team USA is 10-0 all-time against Finland at the Olympics and the goal directly in front of them is to stay undefeated. While the holy grail, when the Olympics are all said and done for the United States, remains the country's first gold in women's hockey since 2018.

The U.S. vs. Finland matchup takes center ice at 10:40 a.m. ET on Feb. 7 and can be streamed live on NBCOlympics.com and Peacock.
