Canada surges to 4-2 win over US in Olympic women’s hockey

Associated Press  

BEIJING — It was going to take more than a one-goal deficit to rattle Brianne Jenner and the Canadians in their long-running cross-border rivalry against the Americans, which resumed Tuesday at the Beijing Olympics. Rather than wilt, Canada responded by scoring three times over a span of 5 minutes, 25 seconds to secure a 4-2 win over the defending champion United States, claiming the women’s hockey tournament’s top seed entering the playoff round. “They’re a good hockey team, they’re going make plays, but I think we answered really well tonight.” U.S. coach Joel Johnson said his team needs to be more resilient when the tide begins shifting. Jenner, who scored twice, sparked the run by one-timing in Sarah Nurse’s backhand pass into the slot to tie the game at 2 with eight minutes left and 26 seconds after Alex Carpenter scored for the U.S. Jamie Lee Rattray scored for Canada 2:25 later by converting Natalie Spooner’s pass into the slot. The Americans are the defending Olympic champions following a 3-2 shootout win in 2018, ending Canada’s four-tournament run of titles.
