Gold medal game

In the gold medal game of the 2010 4 Nations Cup, Rebecca Johnston's second goal of the game won the gold medal for Canada. The goal came on a power play 6:21 into overtime and gave Canada a 3-2 win over the United States. The game was Hockey Canada's 12th championship in the tournament's 15-year history.[2]

Meaghan Mikkelson of St. Albert, Alberta, had a goal and an assist for Canada, while Shannon Szabados of Edmonton stopped 24 shots for the victory. Julie Chu and Kendall Coyne Schofield scored for the United States. Goaltender Molly Schaus faced 52 shots, including 20 in a scoreless third period, and faced 11 shots in overtime.

Johnston notched the only goal of the first period, with 3:14 left in the period. The U.S. jumped ahead 2-1 midway through the second period, when Chu and Coyne scored in a span of 1:17. Mikkelson drew Canada even with 1:49 left in the third period. Kacey Bellamy picked up a tripping penalty 4:58 into overtime. This led to Johnston scoring on a 4-on-3 power play 1:23 later. The attendance at Mile One Centre was 6,200.
