Now let's take a look at the match up and St. Louis connections.
This will be the sixth time in seven Olympics finals for women's hockey that the United States and Canada have met in the gold medal game. The United States has won gold twice. Canada has four golds.
The United States are the defending gold medalists though after knocking off Canada in a shootout to capture gold in Pyeongchang in 2018.
Canada is an undefeated 6-0 so far at these Winter Games, handing the Americans a 4-2 loss in the preliminary rounds. That is the U.S.'s only loss of the tournament so far.
As far as the St. Louis connections go, defender Jincy Dunne is a St. Charles native in her first Olympic games. So far, Dunne has three assists in the tournament and is a +3 while on the ice.
Current St. Louis area resident and daughter-in-law to former Blue Gino Cavallini, Alex Cavallini has been the team's go-to goaltender so far in the Olympics. She has three wins, a shutout, a 95.45 save percentage and a 0.67 goals against average.
Former Lindenwood University goalkeeper Nicole Hensley has also been impressive in these Winter Games, winning her one game she appeared in via a shut out.
