Slovakia men’s hockey forward Dalibor Dvorsky made Olympic history against Germany on Wednesday, setting the record for the most points by an NHL rookie in a men’s hockey Olympic tournament with six.

With a goal and an assist in the Slovak’s 6-2 victory over the Germans, Dvorsky now has three goals and three assists for six points in four games. According to the St. Louis Blues, he’s also set the franchise record for most points by a Blues player in Olympics history.

Slovakia’s win on Wednesday advances them to the semifinals, meaning they could face any one of the United States, Finland, Switzerland, Sweden or Czechia, depending on the results.

Read Daily Faceoff associate editor Steven Ellis’ blurb on Dvorsky following Czechia’s win over Germany:

“Dvorsky has had a tournament to remember. He hasn’t gotten the same love Juraj Slafkovsky has, but he has been nearly as important,” Ellis wrote. “Dvorsky has been a juggernaut around the net, and he had a goal and an assist in this one to quantify his efforts. With six points in four games, Dvorsky is doing everything possible to prove why he’s the long-term No. 1 center for Slovakia.”
