Canada Blanks Finland 5-0 in Olympic Women’s Hockey, Faces Germany in Quarterfinals
Canada’s women’s hockey team secured a 5-0 victory with a 17-save shutout by goalie Ann-Renée Desbiens to advance to quarterfinals against Germany.
- On Feb. 12, 2026, Canada women's Olympic hockey team beat Finland 5-0 to clinch a quarterfinal spot in Milan.
- Facing scheduling strain, Canada arrived without the anticipated three-day break before the playoffs, and Canada's captain Marie-Philip Poulin was held out after sustaining a lower-body injury early in Monday's 5-1 win over the Czechs.
- Strong goaltending from Ann-Renée Desbiens, goaltender, posted a 17-save shutout as O'Neill's shot deflected off a Finnish skate and by Ahola at 13:40 for a 3-0 lead.
- Turnovers and quick recoveries shaped Canada's momentum in the win, as Jenn Gardiner's goal started with a Finnish turnover that O'Neill skated into the zone, and Sarah Fillier returned within minutes after jamming her left hand on Nelli Laitinen.
- All five Group A teams and the top three in Group B advanced, finalizing quarterfinal matchups as the Canadians and Finns finally played their Feb. 5 postponed game due to norovirus.
