Canada’s women’s hockey team suffered its first loss of the Milan Cortina Olympics as the United States blanked them 5-0 in Group A action Tuesday.
Hannah Bilka, with two goals, Caroline Harvey, Kirsten Simms and Laila Edwards scored for the reigning world champions, while Aerin Frankel made 20 saves for the shutout.
The defending-champion Canadians were without captain Marie-Philip Poulin, who suffered a lower-body injury in Monday’s 5-1 win over Czechia.
Earlier, Canada picked up its first silver medal of the Olympics in the short-track speedskating mixed team relay.
William Dandjinou, Kim Boutin, Félix Roussel and Courtney Sarault finished in two minutes 39.258 seconds, behind host Italy and ahead of Belgium, to give Canada a silver and two bronze at the Games.
Steven Dubois and Florence Brunelle also earned silver after skating in the relay earlier in the day.
Meanwhile, Canadian star Mikael Kingsbury and teammate Julien Viel easily advanced to the freeski men’s moguls final.
