The GIST: Canada avenged their loss to Team USA in the IIHF World Championship by defeating them 6-5 in overtime to win their 13th World Championship, continuing the greatest rivalry in sports.
How it happened: The game was tied at 5-5 after regulation time, with Canada’s Marie-Philip Poulin scoring two crucial goals in overtime. Team USA’s Hilary Knight put up a strong fight, but it was Canada’s Danielle Serdachny who scored the game-winning goal during the 3×3 overtime period.
