Due to Fillier’s tying objective, this one is headed to extra time. Subsequent objective wins, who will rating it? For Workforce Canada, the apparent reply is Captain Clutch. Poulin is at all times the protected wager in clutch conditions, and her line has been buzzing with Stacey and Gardiner. It might be solely be becoming for Stacey to be concerned on the game-winner, after her penalty for charging led to USA’s go-ahead objective within the third interval. Watts can be one to look at; she doesn’t have a objective at this time however has had some nice appears to be like.
On the USA facet, Harvey has been tremendous concerned of their offense, so she may come up large right here. I’m wondering about somebody like Alex Carpenter stepping up too — Tessa Janecke and Hilary Knight have been the shooters on that prime line at this time, however in a 3-on-3 scenario, this trio received’t get deployed collectively. Possibly that pushes her to shoot somewhat extra.
