"The Canadians broke through at the 18:16 mark of the second period. After a faceoff win in the Americans' zone, Cale Makar took a pass from defense partner Devon Toews, skated toward the net, and beat Team USA goalie Connor Hellebuyck to the far side for his second goal of the tournament. Celebrini had a breakaway chance with just under 15 minutes left in the third period, but his low shot at the end of a shift was stopped by Hellebuyck."
"This, too, was a game for the ages. The Canadians killed a double-minor penalty for high-sticking to forward Sam Bennett, a four-minute man advantage that was cut short by a high-sticking penalty on Hughes with 3:23 left in the third period. Celebrini had a couple of tremendous scoring chances during Canada's power play, including one right beside the American net, and had a team-leading six shots on goal through three periods."
Jack Hughes scored at 18:19 of 3-on-3 overtime to give the United States a 2-1 victory over Canada in the men's hockey gold medal game at Milano Santagiulia Ice Hockey Arena. The Americans captured their first Olympic men's hockey gold since 1980. Macklin Celebrini watched from the bench after a heart-breaking finish despite leading Canada with six shots through regulation and generating prime scoring chances, including a breakaway stopped by Connor Hellebuyck. Cale Makar scored in the second period for Canada. The Americans killed multiple penalties, Hellebuyck made 40 saves through regulation, and Matt Boldy opened the scoring for Team USA.
