Juraj Slavkovski carried on the momentum from his breakout season with the NHL’s Montreal Canadiens and had a dominant performance representing Slovakia at the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics.

The 21-year-old scored seven points (three goals, four assists), including a power-play goal, and hit 20 shots on target in four games at the 2026 Olympics, helping his country reach the semifinals. This is the second time Slovakia has advanced to the semi-finals at an Olympic Games where NHL players compete (other: 2010 Vancouver Olympics).

Slavkowski, selected by Montreal with the No. 1 pick in the 2022 NHL Draft, has scored 10 goals in 11 games over the past two Olympics. He scored 7 goals in 7 games for Slovakia, leading him overall at the 2022 Beijing Olympics and also tied for the most goals at the tournament (7 goals).

Slavkowski has played in 57 games with the Canadiens this season and has already set NHL career highs in goals (21), power play goals (10) and power play points (17). He is the only NHL player with at least 20 goals, 100 shots on goal (117), 80 hits (83), and 40 blocks (53).
