Canada and the United States took to the ice at Scotiabank Centre in Halifax for the day’s second semifinal. They new their opponent for the Gold Medal Game would be Czechia after that nation won earlier in the day over Sweden.
To start the game, Team USA was the team playing with more intensity, and it quickly paid off. Earning an offensive-zone faceoff, the Americans got the win, and had a 1-0 lead just over a minute in off the stick of Logan Cooley.
A face-off win and cool moves from Logan Cooley means @usahockey take s the early lead.
