Canada has struck on the power play for the third time tonight. This time, it’s Brianne Jenner with the goal on the second power-play unit.

Jenner’s been having a great season with the PWHL's Ottawa Charge. This is her fourth Olympic Games.

The score reads 2-0, but Canada has controlled much of this game. With half of the third period to go, Canada is outshooting the Swiss 40-4.

It’s been a big night for Swiss goaltender Saskia Maurer and the Swiss team as a whole. They’ve been blocking a ton of shots.

Canadian forward Sarah Fillier makes it 2-0 against the Swiss on a third-period power play.

That’s two power play goals for Canada tonight. That’s good news: it’s an area where the Canadians struggled in the recent Rivalry Series against the U.S.

Renata Fast and Daryl Watts earned assists on the goal. Canada’s been outshooting Switzerland all game long, now to the tune of 37-3.

Canada leads Switzerland in shots on net, 32-3.

Spooner's goal, her sixth in the Olympics, remains the only one of the game after two frames.

I had the chance to chat with Spooner a couple of weeks before she left for her fourth Olympics. One message that came through clear: she’s willing to play any role on this team.

In the past, she’s been a top-six forward. In this game, she’s the extra forward.

Her goal came on the power play, in the spot where you can usually find Spooner: in front of the net, making life difficult for the opposing team’s goaltender.

It’s that versatility, and her ability to make things light for her teammates, that makes Spooner an asset for this team.

Team Canada vet Natalie Spooner, who’s playing in her fourth Olympics, has opened the scoring against Switzerland. We sit at 1-0 nearly halfway through the first period.

The Toronto Sceptres forward has had a long and winding journey to get here since winning gold in 2022. She came back from medical issues related to giving birth to her son, Rory. And last season, she came back from major knee surgery.

Canadian head coach Troy Ryan gave assistant coach Kori Cheverie his spot at the opening ceremony yesterday.

Cheverie missed the opportunity to travel with the team to the 2022 Olympics after testing positive for COVID-19 just before she was scheduled to leave. She continued to coach the team from back in Canada.

But four years later, she finally got that Olympic moment. What a cool gesture from one Nova Scotian to another.

We’re in the first intermission of Canada-Switzerland women's hockey action.

Even though there's nothing on the scoreboard to show for it yet, Canada controlled play in the first period, outshooting the Swiss 17-2. Swiss goaltender Saskia Maurer has been busy — and sharp — in her second start in two days. 

It looked like Canada's Sarah Nurse had opened the scoring against Switzerland. But it was a false alarm.

The officials said no goal due to a high stick. We continue to await the first goal, but Canada has had several good opportunities during this period. Swiss goaltender Saskia Maurer has had to be sharp.
