TURIN, Italy (AP) - Hayley Wickenheiser had two goals and an assist Saturday in Canada's 7-0 victory over the United States to win a pre-Olympic test tournament in women's hockey, the Canadians' sixth straight defeat of their neighbors.
It was Canada's third consecutive shutout against the United States, following a 5-0 preliminary-round win Thursday and a 6-0 result last month.
"This is kind of like the reverse of '02 when we lost eight games in a row," Wickenheiser said, referring to the Americans' winning streak entering the 2002 Salt Lake City Games. Canada broke that streak by beating the U.S. in the gold-medal match.
