United States blanks Canada 4-0 in warm-up ahead of women’s world hockey championship
PLYMOUTH - United States goalkeeper Gwyneth Philips credited for the team's 4-0 win over Canada in a pre-tournament warm-up game. Three goals came in the second period from Tessa Janecke, Joy Dunne, and Kirsten Simms, with an additional insurance goal by Hannah Bilka in the third. Canadian goaltender Eve Gascon made 28 saves, but Canada was held without a power play goal while the Americans converted 2 of 5 opportunities.
Earlier in the week, Canada defeated the Americans 5-3 in Windsor, Ontario, with Sarah Fillier scoring the go-ahead goal and Laura Stacey adding an empty-netter. The world championship will take place from November 6-16 in Herning and Esbjerg, Denmark.
