Power Play Punishes Sweden As USA Advances To Women's Euro Hockey Tour Final

USA's power play was potent in the Women's Euro Hockey Tour semi-final as USA scored four goals with the player advantage to win 5-0.

“Our special teams was firing on all cylinders this game and our goaltending was fantastic,” said John Wroblewski, USA's head coach. “We put all phases of the game together today and got a team win.”

In the first period, Kiara Zanon got the USA on the board finishing a pretty passing play from Laila Edwards and Lacey Eden that ended with Zanon's one-timer from the slot that beat Ida Boman.

The second period saw USA's offense really start rolling as they scored four goals. Ella Huber started things with USA's only even strength marker of the game busting up the middle to beat Boman on a breakaway.

USA followed it with power play markers from Abbey Murphy, Zanon's second of the game, and Kirsten Simms. Murphy leads the tournament in scoring with seven points in three games.

Netminder Amanda Thiele made 16 saves for the shutout in net for USA.

USA will play the winner of Canada and Finland in the finals tomorrow.
