Day four of competition was full of ups and downs for Canada at the Beijing Winter Olympics, with another win in women’s hockey and close calls in multiple medal events.
Here’s what you may have missed from the Olympics Monday night and Tuesday morning. Team Canada triumphed over its chief rivals the United States 4-2 in a hard-fought women’s hockey matchup.
Brianne Jenner scored in the first period before the U.S. got back-to-back goals in the second. Jenner tied it back up seconds later before Jamie Lee Rattray made it 3-2 not long afterwards.
A penalty shot by captain Marie-Philip Poulin secured the win for Canada, which held off the U.S. despite giving its opponents two power plays in the third period.
