Hilary Knight scores must-watch goal, sends US to OT vs Canada

Hilary Knight isn't done just yet. The captain of the U.S. women's hockey team delivered perhaps one of the biggest goals of her Olympic career in the winding minutes of the third period of Thursday's gold medal game against Canada when she tipped in a shot from Lalia Edwards to tie the game at 1-1 and force overtime.

It was also a historic goal for the five-time Olympian, as she got her record-breaking 15th career goal and 33rd career point at the Winter Olympics. She now holds the all-time U.S. women's hockey records for goals and points recorded at the Winter Games. TIE GAME! TIE GAME! THE CAPTAIN!
