No miracle was needed. Exactly 46 years after Team USA defeated the Soviet Union in one of the greatest upsets in sports history, the Americans finally reclaimed Olympic gold in men’s hockey for the first time since the “Miracle on Ice” with Sunday’s 2-1 overtime win over Canada. The Devils’ Jack Hughes delivered the golden goal just 1:41 into the 3-on-3 extra session after Connor Hellebuyck re-cemented his place as the world’s best goaltender with a 41-save performance, featuring a ridiculous stick stop of Devon Toews that kept the game tied in the third period.
