The U.S. appeared to take a 3-0 lead at 16:05 of the second period when Knight knocked a loose puck out of mid-air past Lacasse; however, video review showed Knight knocked the puck down with a high stick and the goal was disallowed. Less than a minute later, the U.S. made it 3-0. With Canadian captain Hayley Wickenheiser off for holding, Megan Bozeks point shot beat a screened Lacasse from the point. Canada got on the board at 19:26 as Spooner beat Schaus on a partial break. Jenner got Canada to within one, putting home her own rebound after initially hitting the post.
