Milan Olympics men’s hockey odds

Canada enters today’s matchup as a significant favourite across the board.

Moneyline:

• Canada -800
• Switzerland +550

That means a $800 bet on Canada would return $100 in profit, while a $100 wager on Switzerland would pay $550 if they pull off the upset.

Puck Line:

• Canada -3 (+110)
• Switzerland +3 (-150)

Oddsmakers are expecting a multi-goal margin, which is reflected in the three-goal spread.

Total Goals:

• Over 6 (-105)
• Under 6 (-115)

The total sitting at six suggests books expect offence, but not necessarily a track meet.

Gold medal odds update

Canada remains among the clear tournament favourites.

Outright Winner:

Canada continues to lead the board, slightly ahead of the United States, while Switzerland remains a long shot to win gold despite their strong international pedigree.

Canada has the depth and firepower edge on paper, but Switzerland is rarely chaotic. They play tight, layered hockey and will try to slow the game down and frustrate Canada’s top lines. If the Canadians get rolling early, this could turn into another statement win. If not, expect a grind.

For bettors, the question is less about who wins and more about margin and total. The three-goal spread is aggressive, and Switzerland’s defensive structure makes that line interesting if you believe Canada eases off late.
