Hilary Knight makes Olympic history with dramatic game-tying goal that sparked Team USA gold

Team USA women’s hockey captain Hilary Knight’s massive third-period goal that sent the gold medal game against Canada to overtime had historic implications Thursday night in Milan.

Knight became the greatest women’s hockey scorer in Olympic history when she tipped home Julia Edwards’ shot at the blue line with just 2:04 left on the clock while the U.S. had an empty net, to tie the gold medal game at one goal apiece. 

Finally, Team USA was able to erase the shutout against Canada, and it ultimately worked in their favor.
