JUST IN: Team USA beats ROC 5-0, improving their record to 2-0 at the Winter Olympics.
"I think whenever you can make it messy in front and put pucks on goal it gives you a better opportunity to score," Knight told NBC during the second intermission of her goal."Obviously we're not getting the puck luck that we'd like, but we just have to keep shooting and continuing to play our game and get back to the things that make ourselves Team USA."
That puck luck came in the third period as the U.S. scored three goals in a 4:47 span to take a commanding lead. The U.S. went up 3-0 early in the third after Grace Zumwinkle put a centering feed from Dani Cameranesi into the back of the net for her first Olympic goal. Just 2:18 later, Jesse Compher tacked on another goal off a pass from Abbey Murphy to increase the lead to 4-0. Alex Carpenter then knocked in a rebound for her third goal of 2022 Winter Games to make it 5-0.Hensley had 12 saves for the United States. Sorokina finished with 38 saves for ROC, which fell to 1-1.
