Team USA captures gold in Olympic men's hockey, defeating Canada 2-1 in overtime. It marks the first gold for the U.S. since the Miracle on Ice in 1980. Both teams entered the final undefeated, setting the stage for a thrilling rematch of last year's 4 Nations Face-Off title game, which Canada won.
Jack Hughes nets the golden goal less than two minutes into 3-on-3 overtime after receiving a pass from Zach Werenski. Earlier, Matt Boldy opened the scoring with a stunning goal for a 1-0 lead. Cale Makar equalizes for Canada in the second period.
Key moments include Nathan MacKinnon's missed chance on an open net and Connor Hellebuyck's spectacular save against Devon Toews.
In a touching tribute, Team USA honors late teammate Johnny Gaudreau by including his children in their postgame photo. This victory is 46 years in the making, echoing the triumph of Lake Placid.
