Team Latvia now sits with a record of 1-2 going into the quarterfinals round.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Time on Ice<\/p>\n<p>Tralmaks was on ice for 17:36 and served four penalty minutes. The 28-year-old forward was called for hooking in the first period and roughing in the third period. Latvia\u2019s top line aside from Tralmaks all played 20+ minutes in the <a href=\"https:\/\/thehockeywriters.com\/2-takeaways-from-denmarks-4-2-win-over-latvia\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">loss to the Danes.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Production<\/p>\n<p>Tralmaks had two points in the final game of the semi-final, assisting on Roberts Kristaps goal in the first period and then tallying one of his own in the second period. Tralmaks\u2019 first penalty in the opening period led to the Danish team\u2019s second goal after they had started scoring just 23 seconds into the game. The Latvians managed to kill off the power play he gave the Danes in the third period.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Game Notes<\/p>\n<p>Latvia came to the game off of an upset <a href=\"https:\/\/detroithockeynow.com\/2026\/02\/14\/team-latvia-upend-germany-4-3-in-milan\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">win over the Germans<\/a> on Valentine\u2019s Day. However, Denmark\u2019s Nick Olesen would open scoring just 23 seconds into the game, and finish with three points in the team\u2019s first win of the tournament.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Analysis<\/p>\n<p>Tralmaks has had an assist, goal, or penalty in all three of Latvia\u2019s games. The hard hitting forward has been productive for his team when he isn\u2019t taking penalties, but today\u2019s game was more of a mixed bag for his effectiveness on ice.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Next up<\/p>\n<p>Latvia and Tralmaks face off with Lucas Raymond and Team Sweden on Feb. 17 at 3:10 P.M. <a href=\"https:\/\/detroithockeynow.com\/2026\/02\/14\/raymond-olympic-update-red-wings-forward-goes-from-hero-goat-against-slovakia\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Raymond has five points<\/a> in his first Olympic games on a team led by Gabe Landeskog.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Eduards Tralmaks had his best game yet in the 2026 Olympic games against the Danes, but he and&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":14719,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[8258,27,26,10735,332,11009],"class_list":{"0":"post-14718","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-denmark","8":"tag-2026-olympics","9":"tag-danmark","10":"tag-denmark","11":"tag-eduards-tralmaks","12":"tag-featured","13":"tag-grand-rapids-griffins"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14718","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14718"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14718\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14719"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14718"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14718"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14718"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
