Winnipeg, Manitoba (AP) — Even after stopping 32 shots in a 2-0 shutout over the U.S. on Tuesday night, Canadian goaltender Genevieve Lacasse wasn’t about to take all the credit.
Lacasse led Canada in the pre-Olympic exhibition win, but said her teammates made the busy night easier.
“We kept them to the outside, and then any rebound in front of the net that I let out, our (defense) boxed out and our forwards got the puck out and it was just perfect,” she said.
Jillian Saulnier scored the game’s first goal with 3:10 left in the third period on a backhand shot past American goalie Alex Rigsby.
