U.S. defeats Canada in OT in women’s gold medal game

A heartbreaking day in Canada over hockey.

Megan Keller’s overtime winner powered the United States’ women’s team to Olympic gold, 2-1 over Canada.

It’s the third-ever gold for the Americans, their first since 2018.

Canada settles for silver, they led for much of the game before Hilary Knight tied it for the U.S. late in the third.

The Canadians scored first, early in the second period a shorthanded goal from Kristin O’Neill.

Goaltender Anne-Renee Desbiens made several big saves for Canada.

Canada now has 15 medals at the games, four gold, five silver and six bronze.
