Marie-Philip Poulin of Canada sets a new Olympic record for goals in women’s hockey, netting two against Switzerland in the semifinals at the Milan Cortina Games. With her 20th career goal, she surpasses Hockey Hall of Famer Hayley Wickenheiser, who scored 18. Poulin opens the scoring just 1:49 into the second period, redirecting a pass from Sophie Jaques past Swiss goalie Andrea Braendli. The captain adds another at 8:21, driving to the net and lifting the puck over Braendli after a save on Daryl Watts' shot. Canada wins 2-1 and advances to the gold medal match against the United States. This game marks Poulin's 26th Olympic appearance, tying her with Wickenheiser and Jayna Hefford for the most by a Canadian. Poulin, known as "Captain Clutch," previously scored gold medal-clinching goals in the 2010, 2014, and 2022 Olympics.
