02/19 15:11 CST United States wins 3rd Olympic gold in women's hockey, beating Canada 2-1 on Megan Keller's OT goal United States wins 3rd Olympic gold in women's hockey, beating Canada 2-1 on Megan Keller's OT goal By JOHN WAWROW AP Hockey Writer MILAN (AP) --- Megan Keller backhanded in a shot 4:07 into overtime and the United States won its third Olympic gold medal in women's hockey, beating Canada 2-1 at the Milan Cortina Games on Thursday night to close another thrilling chapter of one of sports' most heated rivalries. American captain Hilary Knight, in her fifth and final Olympics, forced overtime by tipping in Laila Edwards' shot from the blue line with 2:04 remaining. The goal was the 15th of her Olympic career and 33rd point to break the U.S. record in both categories. With the sides playing 3-on-3, Keller broke up the left wing and pushed past Claire Thompson. Driving to the net, the U.S. assistant captain got off a backhander that beat Ann-Renee Desbiens over her left pad. Aerin Frankel stopped 30 shots for the U.S. Kristen O'Neill scored a short-handed goal for Canada and Desbiens finished with 31 saves. This was the seventh of 12 Olympic meetings between the rivals to be decided by one goal and the third to go past regulation. Canada overcame a late 2-1 deficit to beat the U.S. 3-2 on Marie-Philip Poulin's overtime goal at the 2014 Sochi Games. The U.S. won 3-2 in 2018 when Jocelyne Lamoureux scored in a shootout. ___ AP Olympic coverage: https://apnews.com/hub/milan-cortina-2026-winter-olympics
