The women’s hockey tournament at the Winter Olympics is heating up today with Team USA facing Team Switzerland in their third round-robin match.
Team USA comes into the game with an impressive 2-0 record, scoring five goals in each of their previous matches. The team’s goaltending has been noteworthy too; Aerin Frankel has allowed only a single goal in those two games.
In the game against Finland last Saturday, U.S. captain Hilary Knight made history by scoring her 14th Olympic goal, tying the record for the most goals by a U.S. player in Olympic history. If she scores again today, she could set a new benchmark for Team USA.
Here’s what you need to know about the upcoming match:
- When: February 9th at 2:40 PM (EST)
- Where: Milano Raw Ice Hockey Arena in Milan, Italy
- Channel: United States Network
- Streaming: DIRECTV (available for free trial)
Switzerland, on the other hand, is coming off a tough 4-0 loss to Canada, where they managed only six shots on goal.
What time does Switzerland play USA?
The puck drop is set for Monday, February 9th at 2:40 PM ET.
