Team USA is coming off a 3-1 victory over Finland, where the Americans fell behind a goal late in the first period but recovered to score three straight. Kendall Coyne got the eventual game-winner for Team USA, a well-deserved reward after a strong game from the forward.
The Russians come into Tuesday’s game off a 5-0 shutout loss to the Canadians in their first round robin game. The team was outscored and outshot by the Canadians, as the Russians mustered just 18 shots on goal through three periods.
Though the Americans are expected to win Tuesday’s game, they cannot overlook a Russian team coming off a shutout loss. Team USA is led by Hilary Knight, Amanda Kessel, Brianna Decker, and Coyne as the team attempts to win gold for the first time since 1998.
