Megan Keller had a goal and an assist and Hilary Knight inched closer to the all-time world championship points record in a 5-2 win over Canada to close out the qualifying round on Tuesday. Trailing 2-0 after the opening period, the USA scored five unanswered goals against the defending champions with Lacey Eden netting the game-winner at 3:14 of the third period. The Americans ended Canada’s streak against them at five straight – including the most recent world and Olympic finals – with their largest margin of victory over the Canadians since a 4-1 win on Dec. 14, 2019. “For us, it doesn’t really matter what happened in the past,” American forward Kelly Panek said. “This game, the score is what it is, but how we worked and how we scored those goals, we went down, but our mentality never goes down. We were never out of the game mentality. “We stayed together. I think that’s more important than scoring five goals. It’s the way we did it.” The USA went undefeated in four games and topped Pool A, which featured the tournament’s top five seeds. The Americans face Hungary, the No. 3 seed in Pool B, in a quarterfinal match on Thursday. Canada, with three wins and one loss, meets Pool B runners-up Sweden. In Thursday’s other quarter-finals, Finland face the Czech Republic, who went unbeaten at the top of Pool B, while Switzerland and Japan are fourth and fifth in Pool A. After Saturday’s semi-finals, Sunday’s medal matches follow. USA captain Kendall Coyne Schofield’s insurance goal in the third period was her first of the tournament. Pannek also scored and Nicole Hensley stopped 26 shots for the win. Knight’s empty net was the 85th point of her world championship career and one behind the record held by Canada’s Hayley Wickenheiser. Knight already holds the all-time scoring record with 50 goals. With three goals and two assists in four games in Denmark, Knight passed Canada’s Jayna Hefford to move into second place on the all-time points table. “These are two Hockey Hall of Famers, so when you put Hilary Knight in this conversation, she’s a misplaced Hockey Hall of Famer when it’s called and her career is over and there’s still a long way to go,” Coyne Schofield said. Sarah Fillier and Ella Shelton scored for the Canadians, who didn’t create as many close-range scoring chances as the Americans and were often frustrated by the USA. “I don’t think they were necessarily inside the dots. We were losing battles along the wall against them,” Canadian coach Troy Ryan said. “We have to be better along the wall to get elves into the dots.” Canada demolished the USA 5-1 in the qualifying round at last year’s world championships in Calgary before defeating the Americans 3-2 in overtime in the final. “I never believed, and our staff never believed, that the outcome of this game would really have a big impact on the rest of this tournament, but how we handle whatever happens would have a big impact,” Ryan said. “We lost, so it’s going to be how we handle that loss, that’s going to determine our success going forward.” Emerance Maschmeyer stopped 28 shots in the loss. “Any time you lose to the USA, it always stings,” said Canadian captain Marie-Philippe Poulin. “There’s no time to panic for us. It’s a game. It’s part of the process. It’s never going to be perfect. It’s about being resilient.” Savannah Harmon took a cross-ice pass under a Canadian stick to Eden, who wired the rack for the third goal. The Canadians couldn’t equalize on a subsequent power play with Coyne Schofield serving up a boarding minor. Coyne Schofield then scored her team’s fourth goal on a tip-in from the post at 13:28. “Lacey had a good shot. Play with skill, but working in the trenches ultimately wins you games,” USA coach John Wroblewski said. “I was really happy for our captain to score in that area. Great story for us to be the one to give us the two goal lead, which was obviously massive.” Defenseman Renata Fast’s hard-fought penalty with less than four minutes remaining stymied Canada’s chances of a late comeback. Canada outscored the USA 16-8 in the second period, but the Americans scored twice to tie the score. After a Jesse Eldridge tip bounced off Hensley’s left post, the USA scored on its next rush with Panek redirecting a Kayla Barnes shot at 11:11. The Americans cut the two-goal deficit in half with a power-play goal at 4:16. The puck fell to Keller and her shot deflected off Canadian defenseman Ashton Bell and Maschmeyer. With Pannek serving a hard minor, Shelton flipped the puck over a prone Hensley during a scramble for a power-play goal at 18:12 of the first period. Fillier spun and tapped in a rebound off Renata Fast’s shot from the point at 3:29 for her team’s fourth goal of the tournament. With two wins and two losses, Finland placed third in Group A with a 4-0 win on Tuesday over understaffed Switzerland (1-3-0-0). The Swiss were minus five players, including four with illness. The Swiss hockey federation said on its website that captain Lara Stalder tested positive for COVID-19 and the other three tested negative. The Canadian and U.S. players wore masks Tuesday for postgame interviews. “Knowing that there are some cases in the tournament, it was an easy decision for us to do the right thing and put on our masks,” Coyne Schofield said. The Czech Republic beat Sweden 3-0 to go unbeaten at the top of Pool B, five points clear of second-placed Sweden. Germany secured the fourth and final play-off spot in the pool with a 3-2 win over hosts Denmark. This report by The Canadian Press was first published on August 30, 2022.
