"Franziska Feldmeier became the first German player to score against Canada and did so on a shorthanded breakaway 8:42 into the third period after intercepting Renata Fast's pass. Sandra Abstreiter finished with 38 saves, and looked shaky on two goals. The Germans showed promise in finishing second in Group B with a 3-1 record, but still have work to do to break into what's regarded as the top six following their fourth Olympic appearance and first since 2014."
"Canada got a boost from Poulin's return after missing two-plus games with a right knee injury sustained in a 5-1 win over Czechia on Monday. The 34-year-old player, nicknamed "Captain Clutch," was eased back into play in being limited to spot shifts and power-play time. She capped the scoring from a familiar spot -- parked in front of the net and redirecting in Fillier's shot."
"Canada advanced to the semifinals set for Monday and will play the winner of the day's later quarterfinal between Finland and Switzerland. The top-seeded and tournament-favored Americans will play Sweden, the Group B winner after the Swedes upset Czechia on Friday. It was the first Olympic meeting between the two nations, while Canada improved to 9-0 overall in international play and have now outscored the Germans by a combined 83-1."
