Canada's Para ice hockey team will have to settle for silver in Beijing.
The U.S. defeated the Canadian squad 5-0 in the gold-medal match on Sunday for their fourth straight Paralympic title in the sport.
Declan Farmer and Brody Roybal both scored twice for the Americans, with Josh Pauls also finding the net.
Dominic Larocque, of Quebec City, made 15 saves for Canada, including a penalty shot by Pauls in the second period. Jen Lee kept out 16 shots for the U.S.
The final was a rematch of the Pyeongchang 2018 gold-medal game, when the Americans rallied late to defeat Canada 2-1 in overtime.
In Beijing, Canada dropped its preliminary round opener to the U.S. 5-0 before going on to rout South Korea 6-0.
The U.S., on the other hand, have gone undefeated, besting South Korea 9-1 and then getting past China 11-0 in the semifinals prior to the final.
China shut out South Korea 4-0 for bronze on Saturday to complete the podium.
