Canada defeated Team USA 3-2 on Thursday to win its fifth gold medal in the sport. Either Canada or the U.S. has won every gold medal since women's hockey debuted at the winter Olympics in 1998.
Canada's 4-2 victory over the U.S. in group play gives the Canadians the top-seed heading into the quarterfinals. The U.S., the defending gold medalists, also advance to the quarterfinals.
