In a dramatic overtime finale at the women's hockey tournament in Milan, Megan Keller scored the decisive goal, leading the USA team to a 2-1 victory over Canada and securing the Olympic gold medal. The match saw an intense back-and-forth, with Canada initially taking the lead in the second period through Christina O'Neill before Hilary Knight leveled the score for the USA in a dramatic finish that saw them pull their goalie in the last minutes of regulation.

The overtime period showcased high tension and skill, with Keller's goal coming in the fifth minute, a deft maneuver that allowed her to outmaneuver the Canadian defense and beat the goalie. The statistics reflected the closeness of the matchup, as both teams had nearly equal shots on goal, with the USA taking 33 to Canada's 31. The rivalry in women's hockey has seen Canada historically dominate with five Olympic titles, while the USA has claimed three, setting the stage for a highly competitive tournament each time.

This year's final also marked a significant note in Olympic hockey history as it was the first time since 2006 that a North American team faced off for gold, emphasizing the intense rivalry and sporting culture surrounding women's ice hockey in these two nations. Switzerland secured a bronze medal by beating Sweden in the playoff for third place, reflecting the growing competitiveness in international women's hockey.
