"Captain Clutch" unsurprisingly showed up for the Canadians on the biggest stage.
Marie-Philip Poulin scored two goals and added an assist on a Sarah Nurse goal in Team Canada's 3-2 victory over Team USA in Wednesday night's Olympic women's hockey final. The Canadians have now won five of the seven gold medals in Olympic women's hockey history and defeated the Americans in four of their six gold-medal matchups.
Team Canada took a 3-0 lead midway through the second period on Poulin's second goal, but Team USA managed to build some momentum after Hilary Knight scored a short-handed goal before the intermission. Amanda Kessel cut the deficit with 13.5 seconds remaining in regulation with a power-play goal, but the Americans couldn't complete the comeback.
