It was never close and the US won by a touchdown (no PAT) and a field goal, setting an Olympic record of three goals in 55 seconds in the process. And they won in a shutout, just for drill. From USA Today:

And then we'll watch the Canadian women take on the Finns.SOCHI, Russia – Amanda Kessel often is referred to as Phil Kessel's sister.

Monique Lamoureaux also scored a pair of goals for the USA, while Brianna Decker, Alex Carpenter and Hilary Knight netted one each.
