FILE- Dominik Kahun (72), of Germany, celebrates after making a goal in the penalty shootout during the preliminary round of the men's hockey game at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Gangneung, South Korea, Sunday, Feb. 18, 2018. Four years after an improbable run to the Olympic final and that ended with a silver medal, Germany is back at the Olympics without NHL players looking to duplicate that effort. "We never want to talk about that we won silver last Olympics, that we're going to win it again. We just go step by step," Kahun said. (AP Photo/Matt Slocum, File)
