Slovakia beat the United States 3-2 in the men’s ice hockey after a dramatic penalty shootout.
The US held a 2-1 lead late in the third period, but a goal by Slovakia’s Marek Hrivik tied the game with 43.7 seconds left in regulation.

The game went to overtime, but no one scored in the extra period so it came down to a shootout.
Initially, no one was finding the back of the net in the shootout, either — until Peter Cehlarik got the puck by US goalie Strauss Mann.
Slovakia goalie Patrik Rybar was the hero — stopping all five of Team USA’s shots.
