As a result of Canada and the U.S. finishing first and second in Group A, both teams earned byes gtoamthees tsoemseitf­iunpalanan­Odlywmopni­c tghoolsdem­edal clash between the North American rivals for the fourth time in the tournament’s fiveevent history. In the final, there are early jitters. Team USA outplays Canada in the first period, but the game doesn’t get its first goal until just after the midway mark of the second frame. The U.S.’s Duggan releases a perfectly placed wrist shot that beats a screened Szabados over her glove with 8:03 left in the period.

The deficit doesn’t break Team Canada’s spirit. They push back but are unable to equalize before intermissi­on. Then, seconds into the third period, Canada’s Tara Watchorn is whistled for tripping. It snaps a run of three straight Canadian power plays. The U.S. hems Canada in for much of the next two minutes and the advantage is capped when Alex Carpenter tips home a backdoor pass from Knight.

Trailing 2-0 with 18 minutes remaining, Canada puts its head down and drives the play, but every chance is stopped by American goalie Jessie Vetter. The clock is quickly becoming Canada’s enemy.

It’s not pretty, but it counts. After taking a bank pass from Meaghan Mikkelson and breaking into the U.S. zone, Jenner cuts to the middle and fires a shot that deflects off a U.S. defender Bellamy and past Vetter with 3:26 remaining.

With Canada pressing for the tying goal, Dineen makes the decision to pull Szabados with 1:35 remaining in regulation time and a faceoff in the U.S. zone. The Americans win the draw, but Canada’s Johnston is the first to the puck.

Team USA comes out flying early in overtime. Thirty seconds into the frame, Szabados is forced to dart around her crease and make a couple of saves.
