A Storied Rivalry
The two nations met in what became perhaps the greatest spectacle of the 2018 Olympic Winter Games in PyeongChang last February when the U.S. secured a
thrilling overtime victory
in the gold-medal game, which was decided in the sixth round of a shootout after an "electrifying" goal by Jocelyne Lamoureux-Davidson and subsequent save by U.S. netminder Maddie Rooney.
The most recent game between the two countries was also won by the U.S., that a 5-2 triumph in the championship game of the Four Nations Cup on Nov. 10 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
