"Team USA's women's hockey team is on an unprecedented run of domination at the 2026 Winter Olympics. After making light work of Sweden with a 5-0 victory in the semifinals on Monday, the Americans have accomplished a record-shattering 331 minutes and 23 seconds of shutout hockey. The previous women's record heading into this year's Olympics was held by the 2002 Canadian team, which went 199:35 without allowing a goal."
"Three different American goaltenders, Gwyneth Philips, Ava McNaughton, and Aerin Frankel, contributed to the present streak. Frankel allowed a goal to Czech forward Barbora Jurickova in the second period of the team's first game and has since posted three shutouts. Philips and McNaughton have been perfect on the 27 total shots they've faced. In Monday's win, the Americans got goals from all over their lineup, with Cayla Barnes, Taylor Heise, Abbey Murphy, Kendall Coyne Schofield, and Hayley Scamurra all denting the twine."
