USA Downs Canada in OT for 1st Gold Since '80 Miracle
Team USA stares down Canada in a gold-medal showdown packed with NHL's fastest blades and deepest talent, flipping the script from last year's 4 Nations heartbreak. Jack Hughes dances through chaos after a tooth-rattling high stick, while Connor Hellebuyck stones 41 shots and turns Nathan MacKinnon's gaping-net chance into legend. Canada bleeds no regrets, with Drew Doughty calling it the best game he's ever played, but these stakes echo through every NHL locker room back home.
