The United States and Canada play for Olympic gold in women’s hockey, and the game usually goes down to the wire. Jocelyne Lamoureux-Davidson scored the game-winning goal in a shootout on Thursday to give the United States a 3-2 victory against Canada, the four-time defending Olympic champion. Down a goal with seven minutes to play, the United States got an equalizer from Lamoureux-Davidson’s sister, Monique Lamoureux-Morando, and matched Canada through overtime, even staving off a power play through the last 95 seconds. Then it was on to a shootout, which also went into overtime, with both teams netting two of their first five chances. Under Olympic rules for the gold medal game, it came down to sudden death.
