Canada scored three goals in the second period to earn a 4-2 victory over the Americans. Both teams entered this matchup undefeated in Group A and having already clinched a berth in the quarterfinals.
The Canadians have been dominating the tournament so far. They won their first three games by a combined score of 29-3. The U.S. was coming off its best game of the Olympics with an 8-0 victory over Switzerland.
