Natalie Spooner scored the winner as Team Canada took a 4–0 win on Day 1 of the 2023 Women’s Worlds.
Almost four months to the day after giving birth to her first child, Team Canada forward Natalie Spooner scored the game-winning goal on Wednesday to lift her team to a 4–0 win over Team Switzerland on the opening day of the 2023 IIHF Women’s World Championship.
After picking off an ill-advised pass right through the slot by Swiss defender Sarah Forster, Spooner wasted little time in firing a nifty wrister past the glove of Braendli for Canada’s first goal of the tournament — and her first with her son, Rory, in attendance. Fellow Team Canada veteran Rebecca Johnston sits one spot behind Spooner on that leaderboard with 47 points in 55 career games. And after missing the 2022 tournament, the two-time World champion added a goal of her own in the second period against Team Switzerland.
Team Canada stars Sarah Nurse and Sarah Fillier rounded out the scoring on Wednesday, with both Sarahs also adding an assist on the other’s goal. Ann-Renee Desbiens stopped all 12 shots she faced to open the tournament with a shutout; Braendli turned aside 45 of 49 at the other end.
