MILAN -- The United States made light work of Slovakia with a 6-2 victory on Friday to set up the eagerly awaited Olympic men's ice hockey final with Canada.
The U.S. was on cruise control heading into the final period, up 5-0 through Dylan Larkin, Tage Thompson, Jack Eichel and a double from Jack Hughes, before Brady Tkachuk scored between a pair of Slovakian consolation goals.
NHL players returned to the Games following a 12-year absence and expectations had been high that the North American rivals would reap the benefits and face off in the decider.
The U.S. obliged with ease after Canada's tense 3-2 semifinal win over defending champions Finland, and the sides will meet in Sunday's gold-medal decider at Santagiulia Arena.
Slovakia will take on Finland in Saturday's bronze-medal game at the same venue.
