(FILES) Forward Auston Matthews of Toronto Maple Leafs (L) vies for the puck with a player of Detroit Red Wings during the NHL Global Series Ice Hockey match between Toronto Maple Leafs and Detroit Red Wings in Stockholm on November 17, 2023. With ice rink concerns resolved just weeks before the opening faceoff, National Hockey League stars return to the Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina for the first time since 2014. The world's top players will compete in Italy after the elite North American league agreed to a midseason shutdown, and issues of ice quality and rink size were sorted out in January.
