Hillary Knight opened the scoring for USA but Haley Irwin and Marie-Philip Poulin put Canada ahead before Monique Lamoureux-Morando took the match into overtime in Pyeongchang. USA beat Canada in the first womens ice hockey Winter Olympic final in 1998.
Analysis. BBC ice hockey commentator Seth Bennett. USA are crowned Olympic champions, the queens of ice hockey. What an unbelievable final - it was an incredible game of ice hockey and the entertainment was first-class.
It all came down to mental strength and experience. This was great drama.
