Young Slovak forward Dalibor Dvorský (20) has already collected six points at the ongoing hockey tournament under the Olympic rings, scoring three goals and providing three assists. No other NHL rookie has ever had a better point tally at a single Winter Olympics.

Dvorsky showcased a beautiful shot into the corner of the net in the quarter-final match against Germany. He also added an assist on Oliver Okuliar's goal. So far, he has scored points in every game at the 2026 Winter Olympics, finding the net in three of them. Only Macklin Celebrini, Tim Stutzle, and Nick Olesen have more goals at this event, each with four.

The native of Zvolen broke the Olympic record for points by an NHL rookie, reaching six. Previously, the record belonged to five-point scorers Alexander Ovechkin (5+0), Sami Vatanen (0+5), and Olli Maatta (3+2).

Dvorsky could still add to his tally, as Slovakia has two more games to play.

It's also the best point production by a St Louis Blues player in the history of the most prestigious international hockey tournament.

Coach Vladimir Országh's team became the first semi-finalist and will learn their next opponent after the last Wednesday matchup.

Dvorsky said after the Germany game: "We're playing great, and we're in the semi-finals. I don't know what more to say. It's amazing, everyone is enjoying hockey, and we're playing like a real team. 

"On my goal, I saw we had a two-on-one. Janko Lasak did a good job scouting the goalie, and I placed the shot well. I'm happy for the goal, but the win means even more."
