Canada has set up this clash with the Americans with a real showcase of their dominance. They are coming off of a commanding 5-0 victory over Czechia, earning their second consecutive shutout.

Kristin O’Neill led the charge with an awesome performance, netting two goals and an assist in the opening period. Danielle Serdachny, Renata Fast, and Laura Stacey also contributed to the win, while goaltender Ann-Renée Desbiens was the clear star between the pipes.

Keep an eye on Canada’s top line of Sarah Filler, Marie-Philip Poulin, and Brianne Jenner, who have a strong track record against their favourite rivals. Jenner, in particular, is on the verge of reaching a significant milestone as she’s just two goals away from 50 with the National Team.

Team USA

The Americans continued their winning streak with a hard-fought 5-3 victory over Finland, powered by standout performances from Kendall Coyne Schofield, Abbey Murphy, Hilary Knight, and Taylor Heise.

This team has a formidable lineup, with Coyne Schofield, Knight, Alex Carpenter, and Caroline Harvey are all big time scorers in these tournaments. Coyne Schofield, in particular, has been a standout this year, leading her team with six points.
