Brianna Decker — one of U.S. Women's Hockey star players — suffered an ugly injury in the team's win over Finland. Here's three teammates who now must step up in the Winter Olympics.
As valuable as her 200-foot play is, though, the U.S. could benefit greatly from an added pinch of offense from the 28-year-old Minnesota native with Decker out of the lineup. Brandt wasn't much of an offensive dynamo in PyeongChang , but she was a terror during her college days at the University of Minnesota, having posted 115 goals and 285 total points in 158 collegiate games.
In this full episode of the My New Favorite Olympian podcast, hosts Apolo Ohno and Ngozi Ekeledo hear from Abby Roque, Jim Roque, Chief Larry Roque, Ted Nolan and former Anishinabek Grand Council Chief Patrick Wedaseh Medahbee. With Decker missing in action, Knight will need to not only continue being the heartbeat of this U.S. squad, but she'll also need to up her game a bit offensively in order to make up for the lost production from Decker. Luckily, that's not something she should have any difficulty doing.
