As an Olympic gold medalist in ice hockey, Hilary Knight is used to playing with an edge, literally skating on them in fact. But put her on a different kind of edge, on a fashion runway, and suddenly she finds herself on thin ice.
Hilary Knight picked up the primary assist on Savannah Harmon’s first period goal in Team USA’s game against the Russian Olympic Committee on Saturday, and now she’s got a goal of her own after scoring in the second period of the contest.

The assist gives Harmon four points so far during her first Olympics, and Knight’s goal is her seventh career Olympic tally.
