I admit to assuming you're talking about the game when the US beat Finland to clinch the gold medal in Ice Hockey in the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, NY.
American Mark Johnson scored the last goal of the game with 3:35 left to play in the third period. The goal was a shorthanded one.

Why did Finland not win the silver medal for men's hockey at the 1980 Winter Olympics?
The medal round of the ice hockey competition at the 1980 Winter Games was not a single elimination round. The composite record against each of the other 3 teams in the medal round was used to determine the medal winners. Because Finland's record in the medal round was 0-2-1 for 1 point, they did not win a medal. Had Finland defeated the United States in the final game of the tournament, the Soviet Union would have won gold, with a record of 2-1-0 for 4 points, and the United States and Finland would have tied for the silver with a record of 1-1-1 for 3 points.

Who scored game wining goal in 1980 Olympic gold medal game?
Robert McClanahan at 6:05 of the 3rd period. The U.S. team went into the 3rd period behind Finland, 2-1, and a loss would mean no gold medal and extremely diminished memories of the "Miracle on Ice" victory over the USSR just two days earlier. Phil Verchota scored the tying goal, from Dave Christian, at 2:25. McClanahan's goal, from Christian and Mark Johnson, was the game winner and Johnson scored at 16:25, from Steve Christoff, to end the scoring at 4-2 US.
