UTICA, N.Y.—Slowed by an injury entering the International Ice Hockey Federation Women’s World Championships, it seemed only a matter of time before Marie-Philip Poulin—aka, Canada’s Captain Clutch—made her presence felt.

That moment came Sunday, with Poulin scoring twice in a breathtaking 6–5 overtime win over the United States that has the gold medal returning to Canada for a tournament-record 13th time.
