Canada is headed to the semifinal round of the women's Olympic hockey tournament after defeating Germany 5-1 on Saturday.
Team captain Marie-Philip Poulin returned to Olympic play against the Germans, as Canada continues its Olympic title defense. She was injured earlier in the tournament and missed two group-stage contests, including the 5-0 loss to the United States on Tuesday.
Poulin recorded her first goal of the 2026 Games off the power play with just under five minutes to go in the game. With the goal, Poulin tied fellow Canadian Hayley Wickenheiser for the most goals in women's Olympic hockey history (18).
"Honestly, I just wanted to be back on the ice with the girls," Poulin said when asked about the record after the game. "I didn't think about that. Lucky enough, it went in. It was a great play by our power play. But we just wanted that win and getting ready for the semi," Poulin added.
Brianne Jenner, Claire Thompson, Sarah Fillier and Blayre Turnbull also found the back of the net for Canada. Meanwhile for Germany, forward Franziska Feldmeier scored the lone goal as the Germans were eliminated from the women's tournament.
Switzerland 1, Finland 0
Alina Muller led Switzerland to a 1-0 victory over Finland on Saturday to advance to the women's semifinal round. The Swiss team will face Canada when the final four teams face off. The United States will take on Sweden in the other semifinal game.
The semifinals take place on Feb. 16, and will stream live on NBCOlympics.com and Peacock.
