The upstart Italians didn't make it easy on the Americans, and that's everything veteran forward Kelly Pannek could have asked for as the top-seeded U.S. continued its run through the Olympic women's hockey tournament.
A festive atmosphere, a determined opponent, a little chippiness and a 6-0 win in which 13 players — led by Kendall Coyne Schofield's two goals — registered at least a point.
"It feels like right now we're finding different ways within our identity to get the job done," Pannek said. "And it's taken every single person on the ice on our team and our staff to do it. And it feels like we're still building to what we really can be."
After a first period in which the Americans outshot Italy 20-2, but only led 1-0 on Megan Keller's goal, the U.S finally broke through with a five-goal second period.
Laila Edwards, Hannah Bilka and Britta Curl-Salemme also scored. Gwyneth Philips finished with six saves as the Americans posted their fourth straight shutout.
