With the tournament’s biggest names on the ice, the Americans’ elite depth has been the story of the afternoon. Hannah Bilka has been unstoppable, netting two goals to lead the charge, while Caroline Harvey sparked the offense early with a goal and an assist. Not to be outdone, captain Hilary Knight added a late assist to tie the all-time U.S. Olympic points record, reminding the world that the veteran core is still as dangerous as ever.
On the other side, Canada reeling all game, and for the first time in their history were shut out at the Olympics. Without captain Marie-Philip Poulin, who is day-to-day with an injury, the Canadiens were stifled on offense throughout 60 minutes.
With the win, the U.S. clinched first place in Group A and the top seed in the quartefinals. Here is a look at the full stats from the game as the United States extended the win streak to seven against their arch rivals.
