USA women's hockey team brings Olympic gold back home in OT thriller over Canada

The women's hockey gold medal is coming back to the United States.

The Americans came back from a late deficit to win a 2-1 thriller in overtime over their archnemesis in Canada.

The Americans started the second period on a power play from a penalty at the end of the first, but it was Canada who scored shorthanded for the first goal of the game. It was the first goal the Americans allowed in the knockout stage, ending a stretch of three hours, 52 minutes and seven seconds of shutout hockey.
