Ice Hockey
Events: The US men are now tasked with rebounding against Finland on short notice. After the disappointing 1-0 loss to Canada the US has to win on Saturday to get a medal. The US faced Finland in the semifinal in Vancouver and won 6-1. This game is a bit earlier than the US has been playing, this one at 10 AM. When:

Not the medal we wanted to be battling for but we can still take home some hardware. #USA

Snowboarding
Events: 32 men will start parallel slalom qualification at 12:42 AM and half of them will be eliminated in that event. Justin Reiter is the lone American competing in this event. There will be two runs in the qualification, one on the red course and one on the blue course. The 16 best combined times are seeded into the 1/8 finals (4:27 AM) where head-to-head competition begins.
For the rest of the event the two athletes will snowboard against each other once and then swap courses with the second place athlete delayed by how much he lost the first time. The first one down on the second run is the winner. If you DNF on the first run you are given a penalty time but are allowed to participate in the second run.
If you reach the 5:09 AM quarterfinals and don’t make the semifinals (5:33AM) there are still some 5th-8th consolation rounds. The finals will be held at 5:50 AM.
When:
- Men’s Parallel Slalom Qualification – 12:42 AM
- Men’s Parallel Slalom 1/8 Finals – 4:27 AM
- Men’s Parallel Slalom Quarterfinals – 5:09 AM
- Men’s Parallel Slalom Semifinals – 5:33 AM
- *Men’s Parallel Slalom Finals – 5:50 AM
Live Streaming: A live stream will be available on the NBC Olympics website or on the NBC Sports Live Extra app. You will probably have to authenticate a cable subscription to watch the live streams of the Olympics.
TV Coverage: The snowboarding will be shown on NBCSN from 3-4:30 AM ET, included in coverage on NBCSN from 4:30-7:30 AM ET, and included in NBC’s primetime coverage from 8-11:05 PM ET.
