MILAN (AP) \u2014 Marie-Philip Poulin<\/a> of Canada broke the Olympic record for goals in women\u2019s hockey, scoring twice in a semifinal against Switzerland at the Milan Cortina Games<\/a> on Monday to reach 20 for her career.<\/p>\n

Playing in her fifth Olympics, the Canadian captain scored in the second period to surpass former teammate and Hockey Hall of Famer Hayley Wickenheiser, who had 18 goals. The 34-year-old Poulin followed with her second goal of the game 6 1\/2 minutes later to give Canada a 2-0 lead.<\/p>\n

Poulin\u2019s goals held up as Canada beat Switzerland 2-1<\/a> to set up a gold medal game against the United States.<\/p>\n

Set up between the circles just below the blue line by a pass from Sophie Jaques, Poulin nearly whiffed on her one-timer. She still managed to raise the puck about three feet off the ice before it bounced and skipped in off goalie Andrea Braendli\u2019s stick for the opening goal 1:49 into the period.<\/p>\n

Poulin was immediately mobbed by her teammates, who were well aware of her milestone after the player nicknamed \u201cCaptain Clutch\u201d tied the record in a 5-1 quarterfinal win<\/a> over Germany on Saturday.<\/p>\n

She scored again at the 8:21 mark, this time driving to the front of the net and roofing the puck over Braendli after the goalie initially stopped a shot by Daryl Watts.<\/p>\n

The winner advances to face the United States for the gold medal on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Poulin scored gold medal-clinching goals at the 2010, 2014 and 2022 Winter Games.<\/p>\n

It was Poulin\u2019s second game since missing two with a right knee injury she suffered in a 5-1 win over Czechia.<\/p>\n

Monday\u2019s game was the 26th of her Olympic career, tying the Canada record shared by Wickhenheiser and Jayna Hefford.<\/p>\n
