Canadian hockey women top U.S. in exhibition play

Caroline Oullette scored two power-play goals and Shannon Szabados stopped 31 shots as Team Canada topped the United States for the second time in as many weeks with a 5-2 victory in a women's hockey exhibition game on Friday night.

Held at the Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena in Spokane, Wash., the exhibition was part of the Qwest Tour, a 10-game domestic tour for the Americans that began on Sept. 25 and will end just before the start of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.

The Canadians and Americans will meet two more times as part of the tour, and twice more across the border in Calgary and Ottawa.

Canada is 2-0 in exhibition play against the U.S., as the Canadians also won 3-1 on Oct. 5 in Victoria.
