The deciding game in the women's hockey series
is Saturday night in Summerside, Prince Edward Island.
With Canadian star Marie-Philip Poulin off for tripping, Knight
opened the scoring for the United States at 8:13 of the first
period. Blayre Turnbull tied it with 2:20 left in regulation.
Philips made 31 saves in regulation and overtime.
Knight opened the shootout by beating Ann-Renée Desbiens to the
glove side with a low wrist shot. Bilka slipped a backhander
through Desbiens' legs on the Americans' third attempt, and
Pannek scored on a high shot on the fourth to end it.
Taylor Heise was the only one of the four American shooters to
miss. Brianne Jenner, Poulin and Jamie Lee Rattray failed on
their shootout attempts for Canada.
The United States opened the series Nov. 6 with a 7-2 victory in
San Jose, California. Canada took the next two games, winning
5-4 in a shootout in Salt Lake City on Nov. 8 and 4-1 in Boise,
Idaho, on Nov. 10.
While fans at some NHL and NBA games in Canada have booed the
American anthem over the past week, there was no audible booing
during the anthem at Scotiabank Centre.
