Finland, the defending Olympic champions, rallied for a 3-2 overtime victory over Switzerland in the quarterfinals in the 2026 Winter Olympic Games.

Artturi Lehkonen added another defining goal to his growing legacy, scoring on a breakaway in overtime to cap Finland’s dramatic comeback and send them into the Olympic semifinals.

Switzerland took a 1-0 lead at 14:14 of the first, capitalizing on a mistake by Saros. The Finnish goalie went behind the net to collect the puck but his pass to defenseman Niko Mikkola was intercepted by Switzerland's Ken Jager, who fed it to Riat on the side of the net and he buried into the open goal while Saros scrambled to get back.
