Canada defeated the USA 4-2 in the final preliminary round game before the women’s hockey quarterfinals at the 2022 Olympics in Beijing.
The win gives Canada the No. 1 seed for the quarterfinals and semifinals and puts the USA at the opposite of the knockout bracket. Canada will face the No. 1 seeded team in Group B during the first game of the quarterfinals on Thursday.
Although the USA got to the net early with multiple shots from forward Abbey Murphy, Canada struck first and started the momentum on a power play goal from Brianne Jenner. Sarah Fillier and captain Marie Philip-Poulin both assisted on the first score.
Forward Dani Cameranesi scored the first goal on for the USA during the second period, then forward Alex Carpenter scored after Canada forward Emily Clark was given a two-minute minor penalty for boarding.
A mere 26 seconds after the power play goal, Jenner scored again assisted by Sarah Nurse and tied it up 2-2. Forward Jamie Lee Rattray scored on a rebound off a shot from Fillier and put Canada back in the lead. Philip-Poulin sealed the victory for Canada at the end of the second period with a goal on a penalty shot.
While the USA couldn’t retaliate in the third period, they will have another chance to take down their rivals. The two teams are expected to meet again in the gold medal game barring any major upsets in the quarterfinals and semifinals. The women’s hockey quarterfinals begins on Thursday, Feb. 10.
