The unified Korean women's hockey team was crushed by Sweden 8-0 night in the preliminaries of group B. With two straight losses, the prospect for the unified Korean team, the first of its kind in Olympic history, making the playoffs is very slim. Switzerland tops group B, with Sweden second and the United Korea team third.
