Jeremy Swayman breaks his silence on major blunder against Denmark

The U.S. is still undefeated at the 2026 Milan Cortina Games, as it took care of business on Saturday against Denmark at Milano Santagiulia Ice Hockey Arena in Milan, Italy.

However, the victory did not come without a scare for the Americans, as goalie Jeremy Swayman allowed three goals to Denmark.

Two of those came in the first period, which ended with the U.S. down 2-1. The second goal allowed by Swayman, who plays for the Boston Bruins in the NHL, was an embarrassing one, as it was a 95-foot wrist shot by Denmark defenseman Nicholas B. Jensen.

Here is a look at that improbable goal against Swayman.

Following Team USA’s come-from-behind 6-3 win over Denmark, Swayman opened up about the goal he surrendered to Jensen.

“No [I didn’t see it], it was a flash screen,” the 27-year-old netminder told reporters, via Mollie Walker of the New York Post.

“It was just the perfect height, right between that stands and board level. I truly lost it… No matter how they go in, you have to step up and stop the next one.” 

One possible culprit behind Swayman’s unlucky misplay was the dark boards, which may have made it harder for him to track the puck — but he didn’t use that as an excuse.

“I’m colorblind, so it doesn’t matter to me,” Swayman joked.

All told, Swayman turned away 18 of Denmark’s 21 shots on goal. 

Fortunately for him and the U.S., they had the firepower to cover up for his poor performance, with the team scoring three goals in the second period and two more in the final frame.
