USA Defeats Czech Republic Behind Dominant Third Period at 2022 Winter Olympics

The Team USA women's hockey team scored three third-period goals to stave off an upset bid from the Czech Republic with a 4-1 quarterfinal win at the 2022 Winter Olympics.

Hilary Knight, Lee Stecklein, Savannah Harmon and Kendall Coyne Schofield scored for the Americans, who outshot the Czechs at Wukesong Arena in Beijing by a massive 59-6 margin but still found themselves on the brink of elimination until the outburst in the final period.

Michaela Pejzlova tallied the only goal for the Czech Republic, which was making its Olympic debut in women's ice hockey.
