Canadian women's hockey defender Claire Thompson is expected to play in Thursday's gold-medal game against the U.S. despite missing practice with an upper-body injury. According to head coach Troy Ryan, Thompson received treatment and is expected to be ready for the contest.
Thompson, who has four points (one goal, three assists) in six games, will be crucial for Canada as they aim to defend their gold medal against a U.S. team that has won seven consecutive games against their rival.
