Team Canada. Team USA. Once again, the two preeminent women’s hockey nations on the planet will go head-to-head for the gold medal at the IIHF Women’s World Championship.
Team USA defeated Team Czechia by a 9–1 score on Saturday to book a spot in the gold-medal game. Amanda Kessel, Hilary Knight, and Tessa Janecke each tallied twice in the commanding victory, which saw the Americans control the shots by a 45–15 margin. Caroline Harvey continued her excellent tournament with a four-point outing against Czechia, recording three assists before scoring a goal of her own to cap off the victory. Harvey, who finished with a game-high +4 rating, now has 12 points in six games at the tournament.
Sarah Fillier netted a hat trick to help propel the Canadians to a 5–1 win over Team Switzerland, in which the shots on goal favored the hosts 59–9. Andrea Braendli was nothing short of outstanding in the loss, making 54 saves and holding Canada to just two goals through two periods.
