The United States is hoping to get back into the gold medal game in the women’s hockey tournament in Beijing, and standing in their way is a Finland team that they have already faced in this year’s Olympics.
The U.S. squad, who beat the Czech Republic to make it to the medal round, is hoping that they can find similar success to their first game of the tournament, when they beat Finland 5-2.
The American offense is being piloted by veteran star Hilary Knight, playing in her fourth Olympics and showing that she’s just as dangerous a weapon as ever. She leads the U.S. with four goals, and has dished out three assists so far in the tournament. Savannah Harmon, playing in her first Olympics, has two goals and four assists in five games so far in Beijing, totals matched by Amanda Kessel and Kelly Pannek.The Finland team has gotten some big production out of forwards Petra Nieminen and Susanna Tapani. Nieminen has seven points, while Tapani leads the Finnish squad with four goals in five outings so far in the Olympics.
