Aerin Frankel stopped 21 shots for her third shutout of the Olympic tournament as the United States routed Sweden 5‑0 in the semifinal at the Milan Cortina Games. Abby Murphy, Kendall Coyne Schofield and Hayley Scamurra scored in quick succession, while Cayla Barnes and Taylor Heise added early goals.
The win improves the U.S. record to 6‑0, 31‑1, and extends their shut‑out streak to 331 minutes. The Americans will face Canada in the gold‑medal match on Thursday, a rematch of the 5‑0 preliminary‑round victory.
