"The Finns returned to the ice as a full team for the first time since last being together at practice on Tuesday. That night, four players developed symptoms of a norovirus. Two days later, Finland's 23-player roster was down to eight forwards and two goalies, prompting Olympic officials to postpone the team's tournament opener against Canada to Feb. 12. On Friday, coach Tero Lehtera vowed his team would play the Americans even if it meant having a minimum five forwards and a goalie."
"The Finns eventually wore down in managing nine shots through two periods and 11 overall. Goalie Sanni Ahola stopped 44 shots overall, and kept the Finns in the game through a first period in which she stopped 14 of 15 shots. Carpenter was the only one that beat her wjth a one-timer from the slot for a power-play goal with 4:48 left in the period."
"Hilary Knight scored to tie the U.S. Olympic women's hockey career goal record, and the Americans wore down a Finland opponent that spent much of the week dealing with a stomach virus in a 5-0 win at the Milan Cortina Games on Saturday. With U.S. Vice President JD Vance and family cheering along, defender Megan Keller had a goal and two assists."
