The Washington Capitals are making their presence felt at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan, with all three of their representatives competing in medal games. Martin Fehervary, a standout defenseman for Slovakia, will be vying for a bronze medal after Slovakia's tough 6-2 loss to Team USA in the semifinals.
Fehervary was a key player in the matchup, contributing two assists and spending four minutes in the penalty box. Despite the loss, he managed to fire off a shot and maintain an even plus/minus rating.
Throughout the tournament, he’s been a workhorse, leading the Slovak team in average ice time. This being his first Olympics, Fehervary has truly shone on the top defensive pairing alongside Simon Nemec.
The 26-year-old will have his shot at redemption and a bronze medal when Slovakia faces Finland on Saturday at 2:40 p.m. ET.
Meanwhile, his Capitals teammates Tom Wilson and Logan Thompson are set to compete for gold. They’ll be representing Canada in a high-stakes clash against Team USA on Sunday at 8:10 a.m.
ET.
Wilson, known for his gritty play and clutch performances, assisted on the game-tying goal that helped Canada mount a comeback in their semifinal game, securing their spot in the gold medal match. With Capitals players in both medal games, it’s an exciting time for fans watching their favorite NHL stars shine on the international stage.
