Slovakia’s men’s hockey forward, Dalibor Dvorsky, has etched his name into Olympic history. On Wednesday, in a commanding 6-2 victory over Germany, Dvorsky set the record for the most points by an NHL rookie in a men’s hockey Olympic tournament, racking up six points. This impressive feat includes three goals and three assists over four games, making him a standout player for Slovakia in this tournament.
Dvorsky’s performance isn’t just turning heads on the international stage. According to the St.
Louis Blues, he’s now the franchise leader for the most points scored by a Blues player in Olympic history. Not bad for a player who’s still in his rookie season.
With Slovakia advancing to the semifinals, the team is set to face one of several formidable opponents: the United States, Finland, Switzerland, Sweden, or Czechia. The stakes are high, but with Dvorsky’s current form, Slovakia is poised to make a serious push.
Steven Ellis from Daily Faceoff highlighted Dvorsky’s standout tournament, noting that while he might not have received the same attention as fellow Slovak Juraj Slafkovsky, his impact has been undeniable. Ellis describes Dvorsky as a "juggernaut around the net," emphasizing his critical role in Slovakia’s success. With six points in four games, Dvorsky is making a strong case as Slovakia’s long-term No. 1 center.
Back home, Dvorsky has also been making waves in the NHL. In the 2025-26 season, he has tallied nine goals and six assists for 15 points in 47 regular-season games with the Blues.
Additionally, he’s contributed three goals and two assists in six AHL games with the Springfield Thunder. It’s clear that whether on the Olympic stage or in league play, Dvorsky is a name to watch.
