Canada and the United States play in the same world championship group and have three scheduled victories so far. In this match, neither team wanted to be worse, but on the surface you could see a slight advantage for the Canadians, but it was the Americans who opened the scoring in the 9th minute (goal from Hanna Bilka), their opponents equalized quite quickly, because from the 13th minute, they were on the list. Sara Fillier was the scorer. In the second period, Canada took the lead, given to her team by Marie Poulin, but the biggest emotions awaited the fans in the final minutes of the third period. First, 150 seconds before the end, Laura Stacey made the score 3-1, and the Maple Leafs players took advantage of their rivals' empty goal. This did not deter the USA, whose coach brought the goalkeeper back between the posts, only to withdraw her again to reinforce the attack 50 seconds before the end of the match. Just 10 seconds later, Hilary Knight scored for the Americans and Amanda Kessel equalized 4 seconds before the end.
