Hilary Knight scored in the third period to make the score 3-0 as the United States defeated Finland 3-0 on Sunday night in Calgary at the 2021 IIHF Women’s World Hockey Championship.
It was her 44th career World Championship goal, tying Cammi Granato for the all-time goal scoring record at the tournament.
Knight said she didn’t realize the goal tied Granato’s mark and said that the individual accolades don’t mean anything if it doesn’t come with the team success at the end.
Grace Zumwinkle and Kelly Pannek also scored for the Americans, who got a second straight 3-0 win.
