After their heartbreaking loss to Canada in the gold medal game four years ago, the United States women’s hockey team was set up with the ultimate revenge game scenario.
In their first game of the 2026 Winter Games, the U.S. team showed incredible skill and confidence, winning 5-0 and moving smoothly into the knockout rounds at the top of the standings.
In an exhilarating finish at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan, the United States just narrowly beat Canada 2–1 in overtime to claim the women's ice hockey gold medal.
The game kicked off with a cautious first period, ending goalless as both teams played smart and solid defense. Early in the second, Canada took the lead when Kristin O'Neill scored a short-handed breakaway, marking the first time Team USA was trailing in the entire tournament.
With just 2:04 remaining in regulation and their goalie pulled for an extra attacker, U.S. captain Hilary Knight redirected a shot to tie the game at 1–1. This pivotal goal made Knight the all-time leader for U.S. women’s hockey in Olympic points (33) and goals (15).
In a thrilling 3-on-3 overtime, Megan Keller netted the golden goal, securing Team USA's victory and the gold medal.
