The United States is seeking its first Olympic medal since 2010, when it won silver at Vancouver . Canada last won gold in 2014 and last won a medal in 2018, the bronze medal in Pyeongchang.
Canada vs United States prediction
Canada is still dealing with an injury to captain Sidney Crosby , but rumors are swirling he'll return for the gold medal game. The United States held forward Tage Thompson out of the third period against Slovakia with an injury, though it was apparently precautionary. Assuming the rosters are fully healthy, Canada is the clear favorite. But the United States is firing on all cylinders and just dismantled a talented Slovakia team. This is the most anticipated international hockey game in decades and should be a close one. United States wins 4-3.
