- Canadians claim top seed as tournament enters playoff round
- The global hockey powers expected to meet again in final
Marie-Philip Poulin capped a three-goal run by scoring on a penalty shot with 2:35 left in the second period, and Canada upended the defending Olympic champion United States 4-2 on Tuesday to claim the women’s hockey tournament’s top seed entering the playoff round.
Barring a major upset, the two global hockey powers are expected to meet once more in the gold-medal final next week.
