Thanks to freestyle skiers Megan Oldham and Mikaël Kingsbury, Canada is up to two gold medals at the Milano-Cortina Olymipcs.

Turning to Day 11, a speed skating team can make it three golds in as many days for Canada. Plus, the men's hockey playoffs get going, Canada's curling teams face some tough matchups, and a mysterious Russian hits the ice in women's figure skating.

Let's get to all that in our daily viewing guide.

In chronological order:

Snowboarding: Laurie Blouin and Juliette Pelchat in the women's slopestyle final at 7 a.m. ET

The 29-year-old Blouin won gold in the slopestyle at the 2017 world championships and added an Olympic silver the following year. She also captured a world title in big air in 2021. But she did not crack the top 10 in either of those events at last year's world championships and earned a single bronze on the World Cup tour last season. Blouin has only one medal this season too, but it's a gold. She won a slopestyle event in Aspen, Colo., last month for her first World Cup victory in four years.

Blouin placed ninth in qualifying on Sunday while the 21-year-old Pelchat was 12th to grab the last spot in the final. New Zealand's Zoi Sadowski-Synnott had the top score in qualifying and is the reigning Olympic and world champion. She took silver in the big air last week behind Japan's Kokomo Murase, who will be her main rival on Tuesday.

In slopestyle, skiers make their way down a course tricked out with a variety of obstacles including rails and different kinds of jumps. They're judged on the breadth, originality and quality of the stunts
