Jack Hughes Delivers Gold in Overtime

The Americans struck first when Matt Boldy scored just six minutes into the opening period, sending early energy through the U.S. bench. Canada answered late in the second period when Cale Makar tied the game, setting up a tense third period filled with near misses and elite defensive stands.

With regulation ending 1–1, the gold medal game moved to sudden-death 3-on-3 overtime.

Just 1:41 into OT, Jack Hughes became an Olympic hero. After receiving a pass from Zach Werenski, Hughes ripped a shot past Canada’s goaltender to secure gold and ignite a celebration that will live in U.S. hockey lore.

Connor Hellebuyck’s 41-Save Masterpiece

At the heart of the victory was Connor Hellebuyck, who delivered one of the greatest goaltending performances in Olympic history. Hellebuyck stopped 41 shots against a relentless Canadian attack, including multiple breakaway saves and crucial penalty-kill stops that kept the Americans alive through regulation.

Without his composure and elite shot-stopping ability, this game likely never reaches overtime.

Instead, it became a defining chapter in the USA–Canada rivalry.

A Golden Olympic Sweep

The victory also completed an Olympic sweep for the United States, as the U.S. women’s team captured gold earlier in the Games. The 2026 Winter Olympics will now be remembered as a defining moment for USA Hockey across both programs.

For fans, this wasn’t just another win; it was redemption, rivalry, and history wrapped into one unforgettable finish.
