The women's hockey Gold Medal Game of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics is set between Team Canada and Team USA on Thursday, February 19.
My top Canada vs. USA predictions and free betting picks call for the Americans to take the gold with a sixth consecutive statement win over the Canadians.
Canada vs USA prediction
Canada vs USA Best bet: USA -1.5 (-135)
The Americans have the younger, faster, and more skilled lineup, and they’ve run over the Canadians in five consecutive games by a combined score of 29-7, dating back to the Rivalry Series in November and December of 2025.
Team USA also heads into the final with five consecutive shutouts and has outscored opponents 31-1 while scoring at least five times in all six of its games.
America has a top-to-bottom juggernaut, and Team Canada doesn’t have the same star power jumping the boards or between the pipes to contend in the Gold Medal Game on Thursday.

USA -1.5
Over 5.5
While the Canadians may lack the same level of skill the Americans have throughout the lineup, I’m expecting the desperation to be there for multiple Team Canada goals.
As highlighted, Team USA is a proven offensive powerhouse, and we could also see an early goalie pull to help push this total Over the number in the tournament finale.
