Canada is off to a fast start against Team USA in the gold medal game of the 2022 Winter Olympics.
Sarah Nurse and Marie-Philip Poulin’s goals gave Canada a 2-0 first-period lead over the U.S. in the gold medal match at the 2022 Winter Olympics.
Team USA had 11 shots on goal in the first but was unable to beat Canadian goalie Ann-Renee Desbiens. Hannah Brandt missed an opportunity to put Team USA on the board two minutes into the game as her close-range shot hit the side netting. Natalie Spooner seemingly broke the ice with a goal 7:15 into the opening frame, but Team USA challenged the play for a potential offside and succeeded.
Canada officially got on the board less than a minute later as Nurse redirected the puck past U.S. goalie Alex Cavallini. With the goal, Nurse tied the record for most points for a player in an Olympic tournament.
