Olympics women’s hockey, USA vs. Russia live stream: Watch online
Here’s how you can watch Tuesday’s Olympics women’s hockey match between Team USA and the Olympic Athletes of Russia via live stream
Team USA is off to a strong start in Olympics women’s hockey. Their 3-1 win over Finland doesn’t reflect how well they played. Only a very good Finnish goaltender kept the game winnable for Finland. On Tuesday, they’ll get to face the Olympic Athletes of Russia. This match will start at 7:10 a.m. ET. Be sure to grab some coffee because it’ll be an early game!
Team USA got goals from Monique Lamoureux, Kendall Coyne, and an empty net goal from Dani Cameranesi. Coyne got the game-winning goal after finishing a beautiful feed from teammate Hilary Knight. Goaltender Maddie Rooney did a phenomenal job in her Olympics debut, stopping all but one of the shots she saw.
Meanwhile, the Olympic Athletes from Russia will be playing for pride on Tuesday. They’re coming off an embarrassing 5-0 loss to Canada. Even though OAR don’t have a lot of their best players, it was still a very shocking loss. They came into the Olympics ranked fourth overall, according to the IIHF. However, doping allegations have cost them some of their best players, as well as the right to play under the Russian flag.
