Canada’s #10 Sarah Fillier showed up at the Olympics and within a period showed her superstar skill with two goals and an assist as her second line immediately buried the Swiss in the opening game of Group A action. Fillier and linemate Natalie Spooner each scored two goals in Canada’s 12-1 victory over Switzerland, including all three to start the first period.
The 21-year-old Fillier was captain of Princeton in 2019 (at age 19), and top-10 in NCAA scoring behind established Swiss superstar Alina Müller and American Abby Roque. She made her World Championships debut last summer, scoring three goals and six points in seven games.
