Les Canadiennes de Montreal Player Profile: Marie-Philip Poulin

When Canada's women's hockey team fell behind Team USA 2-0 a the beginning of the third period in the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, it seemed as though any hope of winning the Olympic gold medal was lost. Brianne Jenner managed to cut the Americans' lead in half with less than five minutes to play in the third, but it was Marie-Philip Poulin who tied the game with under a minute to go. All of Canada sat on the edge of their seats as they hoped and waited.

Hilary Knight took a cross-checking penalty seven-and-a-half minutes into overtime, giving the Canadians a 5-on-3 power play.
