Hall of Famer Mike Modano was a member of three U.S. Olympic men's hockey teams. They were filled with NHL stars, but they managed to take home just one medal, a silver in 2002.

If the NHL sends its players to the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy, the Americans will have another team filled with familiar names: Auston Matthews, Jack Eichel, the Hughes and Tkachuk brothers, and the deepest goaltending pool in the nation's history.

When Modano looks at those players, he sees Olympic gold.
