Story summary

On October 29, 2026, Canada snapped an eight-game losing streak against the United States with a 5-3 victory in Windsor, Ontario. This win was particularly significant as it came just eight months after the U.S. claimed Olympic gold in Milan when Hilary Knight scored the equalizer and Megan Keller won in overtime, denying Canada their fifth consecutive Olympic title. In this rematch, newcomer Caitlin Kraemer and Rosalie Tremblay both scored their first senior international goals. Laura Stacey's empty-net goal with six seconds left sealed the victory. The win is especially noteworthy as it sets a positive tone for Canada ahead of next month’s women’s world championship in Denmark from November 6 to 16.
