Canada’s offence rounding into form ahead of women’s world final against U.S.

Marie\u002DPhilip Poulin led Canada to a semifinal win over Switzerland at the women\u0027s world hockey championship Saturday.

Canada scored the types of goals it will likely need to beat the U.S. — generated from below the half wall and scored from within a two-metre radius of the crease.

The Canadians also got contributions Saturday from players who’d had a quiet tournament. Brianne Jenner, whose nine goals in February’s Winter Olympics tied a tournament record, scored her first in Denmark.Head coach Troy Ryan continued to work different forward combinations Saturday, shifting Sarah Potomak onto a line with Poulin and Jenner and moving Victoria Bach to join Jessie Eldridge and Emma Maltais.

“We’d got kind of predictable. I thought we had a little more variety tonight. If we bring that variety tomorrow, it will cause some problems.” “In games, we’ve had so many great tips and so many great tip goals,” Heise said. “We work so hard in the small areas because we want those opportunities for our teammates.”

The Canadians then prevailed 3-2 in Beijing for Olympic gold. They’d lost it in a shootout to the U.S. four years earlier in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
