Most Olympic goals ever: Where Marie-Philip Poulin, Hilary Knight rank on women's hockey all-time leaderboard

Since women's hockey debuted at the Winter Olympics in 1998, Canada and the United States have dominated the podium, with the Canadians winning five gold medals and the Americans winning two.

Only once has another country earned higher than bronze in the event, with Sweden's silver medal in 2006 the lone instance.

The all-time Olympic goal leaderboard reflects Canadian and American dominance. The top eight goal-scorers in the history of Olympic women's hockey are all either Canadian or American, including two active legends of the game.

Here's a look at where Marie-Philip Poulin and Hilary Knight rank on the all-time goal leaderboard at the Olympics.

How many Olympic goals does Marie-Philip Poulin have?

Canada's Poulin has 17 goals in her Olympic career, which began in Vancouver in 2010.

Poulin is tied with former Canadian teammate Meghan Agosta for second all-time behind only Canada's Hayley Wickenheiser, who scored 18 goals in her Olympic career.

Poulin has won three Olympic gold medals, scoring each of Canada's two goals in the 2010 gold medal match and winning again in 2014 and 2022 with gold medal victories over the United States.

How many Olympic goals does Hilary Knight have?

Hilary Knight has 14 goals in her Olympic career, tying her for the all-time American record in women's hockey. Knight's 14 goals are tied with Natalie Darwitz and Kathryn King, and the trio is tied for sixth on the all-time women's leaderboard at the Olympics.

Knight scored six goals in the United States' 2022 Olympic run alone, though it wasn't enough for the Americans to defend their gold medal. She scored a goal for the U.S. in its gold medal victory over Canada at the 2018 Olympics in PyeongChang. 

Now, Knight is on the verge of becoming the all-time Olympic goal leader for American women's hockey, and she has a chance to make a run at the all-time overall record.
