BEIJING, Feb 12 — The United States outslugged Canada 4-2 today in an Olympic clash of hockey heavyweights that lacked none of the intensity of their long rivalry despite the absence of NHL superstars.

Also in the group, 2018 silver medallists Germany beat hockey newcomers China 3-2, denting the host nation’s already fading chances of making it to the knockout round. The pedigree of the fierce rivals -– they’ve won a combined 27 medals including 11 gold –- made Saturday’s contest a marquee group-play match-up, and it was typically physical.The NHL’s no-show leaves no clear favourite, with Canada, the USA, the defending champion Russians and a strong Finnish team the top contenders.

But their loss to Germany means China — the lowest-ranked team in the tournament at world number 32 — will face the playoff round unless they can score an unlikely win over Canada on Sunday in their final preliminary match.
