Why This Matters

She will ski a slalom run, and teammate Breezy Johnson — who clutched gold in downhill Sunday — will ski a downhill run. The pair clutched the world title in this event last year. Team USA will take on longtime rival Canada in women’s hockey with both sides so far undefeated in Milan.

This could change the dynamics of the sport going forward.

• Team USA can close out the group stages unbeaten with a victory.
