Canada defeated Team USA 2-1 in the IIHF women’s world championship final on Sunday in Denmark, as hockey’s greatest rivalry added another thrilling chapter.<\/p>\n

Goalie Ann-Renee Desbiens made 19 saves in the win, including some in the final moments of the third period, while forward Brianne Jenner scored two goals in 1:24 during the second period.<\/p>\n

“Sometimes you have to squeak it out at the end and rely on goaltending and blocked shots. We found a way to get it done,” Jenner said after the game.<\/p>\n

Canada now has 12 women’s worlds gold medals to the Americans’ nine. Either the US or Canada has won gold in women’s worlds every since the event began in 1990. They’ve met each other in every tournament final save for 2019, when the US defeated Finland for gold.<\/p>\n

Team USA had won eight of the past 10 meetings with Canada at worlds and had won gold in five of the past six tournaments. Canada has now won gold in back-to-back IIHF world championships, to go along with their gold medal win over the Americans at the Beijing Olympics earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Sunday’s game had a scoreless first period and an uncharacteristically low number of shots between the teams. But Team Canada roared to life in the second period thanks to Jenner, who was the MVP at the Beijing Olympics. Jenner collected a pass from teammate Marie-Philip Poulin and beat US goalie Nicole Hensley at 9:30 of the second period for the 1-0 lead.<\/p>\n

The Americans handed Canada even more momentum when Hannah Brandt went off for boarding just 26 seconds later. Jenner scored every second of the game on the ensuing power play to give Canada the 2-0 advantage. But the US scored a critical goal with 21 seconds remaining in the second period, as Abby Roque banged in a perfect cross-crease pass from Amanda Kessel on the power play.<\/p>\n

The Americans pushed in the third period, including a frantic final two minutes with Hensley pulled. But Desbiens made big saves while Poulin had a critical shot late in the game to preserve the win.<\/p>\n

The loss was Team USA’s first at the 2022 world championships, having gone undefeated in the preliminary round (outscoring their four opponents 30-3, including a 5-2 win over Canada) and playoffs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
