Twelve teams chasing Olympic gold are split up into three groups of four teams.
Team Canada is in Group A with Czechia, Switzerland and France.
Meanwhile the Italians will take on Sweden, Finland and Slovakia in Group B, and the United States will play alongside Latvia, Germany, and Denmark in Group C.
Every team will play games in the preliminary round consisting of three games. In this round a three point system will be used to determine the group standings (regulation win: three points, win in extra time: two points, extra time loss: one point).
Then the top four teams will get a free pass into the quarterfinal, and the other eight teams will play in do-or-die games in the qualification round.
After the qualification round teams will work to get into the quarterfinals, semifinals, and the bronze and gold medal games.
