Slovakia is hosting one of three qualifying tournaments this week in Europe that will determine the final few spots for the 2026 Olympics .
Slovakia is favored to advance along with Denmark and either Latvia or France .
There is still the question of whether Russia will play given the country's war in Ukraine .
The biggest lingering question surrounds Russia , which along with Belarus has been barred from IHF play since 2022 .
"I feel like we are still going to make it," said Slafkovsky , whose seven goals in Beijing were the most in the tournament. “It’s going to be different with all the NHL players. It’s going to be way harder, I think, than it was in China . But it’s going to be a fun one. I like to play in hard games, and we want to get good national teams with all their best players." ___ AP NHL : https://apnews.com/hub/nhl.
