GAME NOTES
TONIGHT'S MATCH UP
Today's game marks the third game of the 2024-25 Rivalry Series, presented by Discover and is the third and final meeting of the November games of the series. The Rivalry Series will pick back up Feb. 6, 2025 for the final two games in Canada.
LAST TIME OUT
Down 4-1 heading into the last six minutes of the game, Team USA tallied three unanswered goals, including the game-tying goal from Hilary Knight with just 1:26 remaining in regulation, to push the game to overtime tied 4-4. Despite a fast-paced overtime period, the game went to a shootout where Canada's Chloe Primerano recorded the game-winner in the fifth round to take the game 5-4. Gwyneth Philips made her USWNT debut in net recording six saves in one period of action for the U.S.
THREE IN FIVE DAYS
Tonight's game marks the third game for the teams in five days. Game one was played on Wednesday (Nov. 6) in San Jose, California, while game two was played on Friday (Nov. 8) in Salt Lake City, Utah.
WELCOME TO IDAHO
Tonight's game is taking place at Idaho Central Arena, home of the Idaho Steelheads, the ECHL affiliate of the Dallas Stars. The arena is in the heart of downtown Boise, Idaho, and first opened in 1997. The capacity for a hockey game is 5,002, which is what the anticipated attendance for game three will be as the game sold out when tickets went on sale in late summer.
KNIGHT TALLIES TWO
Forward Hilary Knight scored two third-period goals, including the game-tying tally with 1:26 in regulation. While Knight is no stranger to the score sheet, it marked her first multi-goal game for the U.S. since recording a hat trick in a 6-3 victory over Canada in the gold medal game of the 2023 IIHF Women's World Championship.
