KAMLOOPS, British Columbia (AP) — Alex Carpenter put another gold medal around the Americans’ necks.
The daughter of former NHL player Bobby Carpenter struck 12:30 into overtime to lift the United States over Canada 1-0 Monday night to win the World Championship.
The U.S. power play was 0 for 3, but Carpenter scored shortly after time expired on a U.S. 4-on-3. She got her stick behind a sprawling Maschmeyer to bat the puck in.
“It got pretty quiet, so I wasn’t really sure if it went in,” Carpenter said. “I’ve had some chances throughout the tournament, and I guess this was just the right place at the right time.
