They had never been held scoreless before in the Olympics, and the 5-0 final score was the biggest deficit a Canadian Olympic team has ever had against the USA men's or women's. With the win, Team USA clinched an undefeated run through group play and now has all the momentum as the No. 1 seed heading into the quarterfinals, where it will face host country Italy.
And the Americans dominated from the start, taking its earliest lead of the tournament on Harvey's goal 3:45 into the first period. The score came following a faceoff, with Haley Winn working the puck to the high slot for Harvey, who fired a neat wrister by Canadian goalie Ann-Renee Desbiens for her second goal in Olympic competition and her second in as many nights.
