U.S. Defeats Canada in Overtime to Win Its First Olympic Men's Hockey Gold Since 1980
- In Milan, Jack Hughes scored 1:41 into overtime, giving the United States a 2-1 victory over Canada and its first Olympic men's hockey gold since 1980.
- Strong net play from Connor Hellebuyck, who stopped 41 of 42 shots, and Cale Makar's late goal tied the game with 1:44 remaining in the second period, highlighting an intense match.
- In three-on-three overtime, Jack Hughes skated in, took a pass from Zach Werenski, and beat Jordan Binnington; Sam Bennett's four-minute penalty and Hughes' high-sticking created a tense four-on-four sequence.
- The victory ends a 46-year drought for the United States men's ice hockey team, silencing critics and contributing to the U.S. medal count of 33 medals and 12 golds at these Games.
- Much of the U.S. roster progressed through USA Hockey's National Team Development Program, capping the NHL's return after 12 years; Canada played without injured captain Sidney Crosby as Connor McDavid served captain.
