Team USA rallied from behind to defeat Canada, 2-1, in overtime to win the gold medal in the women’s hockey final at the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics.
Canada opened the scoring in the second period when Kristin O’Neill tallied a shorthanded goal to give her team a 1-0 lead.
With just over two minutes remaining in regulation, U.S. captain Hilary Knight tied the game with a deflection in front of the net — her 15th career Olympic goal, making her the leading American scorer in women’s Olympic hockey history.
The game moved to 3-on-3 sudden-death overtime, where Megan Keller scored early to secure the gold medal for the United States.
The comeback victory added another chapter to the storied U.S.-Canada rivalry, long regarded as the defining matchup in women’s international hockey.
