Kelly Pannek and Abbey Murphy scored two goals each and the United States bounced back from surrendering a goal in the first minute for a 10-4 win over Canada in the third Rivalry Series game on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n
Kendall Coyne Schofield had a goal and two assists and Tessa Janecke, Jesse Compher, Britta Curl-Salemme, Alex Carpenter and Kirsten Simms also scored for the US.<\/p>\n
The Americans, who have won the first three of the four-game series, scored five unanswered goals after Canada\u2019s Sarah Fillier struck 48 seconds into the game, and another four straight in the third.<\/p>\n
Gwyneth Philips made 30 saves for the US.<\/p>\n
Sophie Jaques scored twice, Fillier had a goal and an assist and Julia Gosling also had a goal for Canada, which gave up 10 goals to the US for the first time ever. The previous high was nine in 2012.<\/p>\n
After allowing five goals on 17 shots in her first start of the Rivalry Series, Ann-Ren\u00e9e Desbiens was replaced by Emerance Maschmeyer midway through the second period. Maschmeyer turned away seven of 12 shots.<\/p>\n
The final game of the series, and the last meeting of the archrivals before February\u2019s Olympic Games, is Saturday in Edmonton.<\/p>\n

The US took a commanding lead Wednesday on Canada\u2019s porous defense, although a three-goal second period by the hosts, including two in the final two minutes, had Canada within striking distance two goals down heading into the third.<\/p>\n
Jaques\u2019 second of the game survived a video review for goaltender interference. The subsequent delay of game penalty to the US gave Canada a power play to start the third.<\/p>\n
Jaques rang the puck off the post, but that was as close as Canada came during the advantage. The US then resumed its goal-scoring pace with four unanswered goals.<\/p>\n
