Caroline Harvey and Joy Dunne each collected a goal and two assists and Gwyneth Philips made 20 saves, fueling the United States to a 5-0 victory over Switzerland on Monday at the Milan Cortina Olympics.

Alex Carpenter scored for the third time in as many games and added an assist for the Americans (3-0-0), who have outscored the Group A competition by a 15-1 margin in the preliminary round.

The U.S. will look for revenge against Canada on Tuesday in a rematch of the gold-medal game from the 2022 Beijing Olympics.

Haley Winn and Hannah Bilka each scored a goal and team captain Hilary Knight notched two assists to boost her Olympic total to 31 points, one shy of tying Jenny Potter as the all-time U.S. leader.

Ava McNaughton relieved Philips late in the third period and made one save.

Andrea Braendli turned aside 45 shots for Switzerland (1-2-0), which has dropped two straight following a 4-3 shootout win over Czechia on Friday.

Braendli denied Taylor Heise on a breakaway early in the first period before the Americans solved her at 6:04 of the session.

Harvey skated in from the left-wing wall and wired a centering feed that Winn directed home from the doorstep.

Dunne doubled the advantage with 5:52 remaining in the second period after a brilliant individual effort.

Dunne forechecked a Swiss defender off the puck in the corner before backhanding a shot that caromed off a skate and into the net for an unassisted goal.

Bilka accepted a feed from Heise in front of the net and swept the puck past Braendli to give the Americans a 3-0 lead at 1:17 of the third period.

Carpenter converted a breakaway before Harvey used a brilliant deke on Braendli to cap the scoring.
