NBC Olympics TV and streaming schedule for February 16

If you’re a fan of rivalries in sports, get ready for the latest chapter of one of the best to unfold on Wednesday at the Olympics.

The U.S. women’s ice hockey team plays Canada in the gold medal game in Beijing, with the puck drop set for 11:10 p.m. on NBC — yes, that’s the big broadcast network, not a cable channel. NBC10′s local news is moving earlier for the night, to 10:35 p.m.

This will be the seventh Olympic women’s ice hockey gold medal game since the event came to the Olympics in 2018. Canada has been in all six, winning four (2002, 2006, 2010 and 2014), while the U.S. has been in all but one (2006), winning two golds (1998 and 2018). Canada beat the U.S. in this year’s first-round pool stage, 4-2, so the Americans will be out not just for gold but for revenge.
