Canada’s women’s hockey team will face the United States in the preliminary round of the Milan Cortina Olympics without captain Marie-Philip Poulin, who is sidelined due to a lower-body injury sustained in a recent game against Czechia. Poulin, a key player known for her crucial performances in past Olympics, is day-to-day after contributing an assist in Canada’s opening win against Switzerland. The Canadian team enters the matchup with a 2-0 record, while the Americans stand at 3-0. This will be Poulin’s fifth Olympic appearance as she aims for her fourth gold medal.
