U.S. ENDS CANADIAN GOLD MEDAL STREAK IN WOMEN’S HOCKEY
Canada’s drive for a fifth straight gold medal in women’s hockey ended early today when the U.S. won 3-2 in a shootout. The win was redemption for the Americans, who lost in overtime to Canada four years ago in Sochi. Marie-Philip Poulin — who scored the winner for Canada — and Haley Irwin scored for Canada. The silver medal raised Canada’s to 22 — nine gold, six silver and seven bronze.
