Canada captain Marie-Philip Poulin said after Sarah Fillier scored three times in a 5-1 semifinal win over Switzerland to ensure the cross-border rivals would meet on Sunday for the 21st time in 22 world tournaments.
"We'll see tomorrow. I feel it's going to be a battle either way," Poulin said. "We all train for the same reason. You want to get that gold medal and we're all aware of that. ... And it's going to be a battle all day."
Veterans Knight and Amanda Kessel scored two goals each, with Knight breaking the game open by scoring 1:28 apart to put the U.S. up 3-0 at the 5:57 mark of the second period. Though unbeaten in six tournament games, the Canadians have experienced troubling lapses in finishing scoring chances and holding leads. Swiss goalie Andrea Braendli stopped 49 shots and handled the first 21 she faced before Fillier finally beat her with a shot from the right circle 11:06 into the second period. Jamie Lee Rattray and Rebecca Johnston also scored, and Ann-Renee Desbiens stopped eight shots.
Canada ended the Americans' run of five straight titles with a 3-2 OT win in 2021 in Calgary. Canada defeated the U.S. 2-1 in the final last year. The Canadians also are the defending Olympic champions after a 3-2 win over the Americans at the 2022 Beijing Games.
