Team Canada goes 2-0 in women’s hockey
Saskatoon forward, Emily Clark and the Canadian women’s hockey team claimed their second victory on Day Three of the Olympics with a 5-1 win over Czechia.
The first period saw Canada lead 4-0, with Kristin O’Neill putting the team on the scoreboard five minutes and fifty-five seconds in and was followed by Sarah Fillier and Laura Stacey adding singles within the thirteenth minute.
That led to a change in net for Czechia, which did nothing to prevent Julia Gosling from making a powerplay goal a minute and three seconds before the period wrapped.
Gosling added her second goal of the game just seventeen seconds into the second period, which brought the Canadians into the final period with a 5-0 lead.
Czechia did find their way to the scoreboard in the third period, with Natalie Mlynkova securing their sole goal of the game.
Canadian goaltender Ann-Renee Desbiens stopped 18 of 19 shots faced in the game. Meanwhile, Czech starter Julie Pejsova made 10 saves on 13 shots before she was swapped out for Michaela Hesova who blocked 19 of 21 shots.
