NEW YORK AND TORONTO – Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) attendance records continue to be broken with a new weekly benchmark of 79,356 fans across seven games through Sunday’s return of the PWHL Takeover Tour™ in Denver. As part of the record-setting week, attendance in the 2025-26 season eclipsed last season’s regular-season total in 15 fewer games. The Takeover Tour continues this week in Winnipeg in another seven-game schedule.

SINGLE SEASON AND WEEKLY ATTENDANCE RECORDS

The PWHL surpassed its 90-game 2024-25 regular-season attendance of 653,415 during the 75th game of the 2025-26 campaign on Saturday at Vancouver’s Pacific Coliseum where a crowd of 11,120 brought the league total to 662,197 fans. The weekly attendance of 79,356, which included Minnesota’s season-high crowd of 11,120 at Grand Casino Arena on Friday and 15,512 fans at Denver’s Ball Arena on Sunday, averaged 11,337 fans across seven games to exceed the previous weekly record of 72,082 set in nine games played from Dec. 15-21, 2025. The PWHL is on the cusp of surpassing 700,000 fans with attendance through 78 games currently at 696,151 with an average of 8,925 fans per game, up 23% over last season.

MILE HIGH HOMECOMING

The PWHL Takeover Tour™ returned to Denver for the third time in two seasons on Sunday, presented by Woody Creek Distillers, with Minnesota earning a 4-3 victory over New York. It was a homecoming for the league’s only two Colorado natives in Frost rookie Peyton Anderson (Arvada) and goaltender Nicole Hensley (Lakewood), who earned the win with a 23-save performance. On Saturday, the Sirens held an open practice and signed autographs for fans and members of the Frost participated in a Community Clinic. The community connection extended to Denver’s professional sports scene with the Colorado Avalanche wearing PWHL jerseys for walk-ins earlier in the week and a postgame jersey swap between members of the Sirens and Frost with the Colorado Mammoth and Colorado Rapids. The Ball Arena crowd of 15,512 was the third highest through the first 11 games of the Tour and brought the two-season total attendance in Denver to 41,142 for an average of 13,714 fans per game.

CAPTAIN KELLER LEADS INCREDIBLE COMEBACK

Boston captain Megan Keller scored a goal and two assists for her first career three-point performance Sunday, helping the Fleet erase a 3-0 third-period deficit against the Victoire to emerge victorious by a 4-3 score in overtime in a battle between the league’s top teams. The top scoring defender and Olympic golden goal scorer has been named PWHL Player of the Week presented by SharkNinja, adding seven shots on goal, a plus-4 rating, and an average time on ice of 28:27 to her three points across three road games. The 29-year-old from Farmington, MI, leads all PWHL defenders with six goals and 15 points in 19 games and is now tied for the all-time lead in scoring among defenders with 43 points (15G, 28A) in 73 career games. Boston’s win was just the third time in PWHL history a team has won after trailing by three goals in the third period following New York wins over Ottawa on Feb. 4, 2024 (4-3 in OT) and Mar. 25, 2025 (6-3).

FLEET AND TORRENT SWAP VETERAN FORWARDS

The second trade of the regular season was executed on Monday night with Boston acquiring Jessie Eldridge from Seattle in exchange for Theresa Schafzahl. Both players are third-year veteran forwards with contracts through the current 2025-26 campaign. The PWHL trade deadline is March 30, followed by a roster freeze on March 31. Click here for more.

BOSTON ALONE ATOP THE STANDINGS

Boston (9-5-2-3) picked up four of a possible nine points on the road last week and now stand alone in first place in the PWHL standings with 39 points. Minnesota (9-3-3-4) earned all six points in their two games to move into a tie for second with 36 points alongside Montréal (9-4-1-5), who had their six-game winning streak and a perfect seven-win record at Place Bell snapped on Sunday. Ottawa (5-6-1-8) won their league-leading fourth overtime game Saturday to pick up two points for 28 on the season and a share of fourth place with Toronto (7-1-5-8), who won in regulation Sunday and have points in all five of their post-Olympic games. New York (8-0-3-9) was the only team last week not to earn any points with a regulation loss in their only game, dropping down to fifth place with 27 points. Vancouver (5-1-4-9) is up to 21 points in seventh place after a pair of overtime losses, and Seattle (5-1-2-11) is up to 19 points in eighth place after a home win and two road losses.

HEISE FIRST TO 20 (PLUS) POINTS

Minnesota’s Taylor Heise became the first player in the PWHL to reach 20 points this season with a goal on Friday, then scored again on Sunday to bring her league-leading point total to 21 (6G, 15A) in 19 games. She is just the third player in PWHL history to record consecutive 20-point seasons, following Victoire captain Marie-Philip Poulin and Torrent alternate captain Alex Carpenter in the league’s first two seasons. The list is likely to grow as 10 other players reached the 20-point plateau in 2024-25, while both Poulin (9G, 8A) and Carpenter (7G, 6A) have the trifecta within reach. The Frost’s Britta Curl-Salemme (8G, 11A) sits second in league scoring with 19 points, followed by a trio tied for third with 18 points, including co-goal scoring leader Rebecca Leslie (11G, 7A) of Ottawa, Frost alternate captain Kelly Pannek (9G, 9A) and Charge captain Brianne Jenner (9G, 9A). New York’s Kristýna Kaltounková (11G, 1A) is tied for the goal-scoring lead and ranks third in rookie points behind teammate Casey O’Brien (5G, 9A) and Frost defender Kendall Cooper (1G, 12A).

PHILIPS FIRST TO TOP 500 SAVES

Ottawa’s Gwyneth Philips turned aside 34 shots on Saturday to bring her league-leading save total to 532 in 18 games, becoming just the sixth goaltender in PWHL history to surpass 500 saves in a season. Her 576 shots against are 82 more than the next closest goaltender, New York’s Kayle Osborne, while also leading her sophomore counterpart by 81 saves in one fewer game. Philips has the single season saves record within reach this week, chasing fellow U.S. Olympic netminder Aerin Frankel, who made 591 saves in 23 games in 2024-25. Corinne Schroeder (530 SV in 20 GP), and Ann-Renée Desbiens (518 SV in 21 GP) also exceeded 500 saves in 2024-25, while Emerance Maschmeyer (548 SV in 23 GP) and Kristen Campbell (544 SV in 22 GP) were the only two to do it in the inaugural season.

FIRST CAREER SHUTOUT FOR KIRK

Toronto’s Raygan Kirk recorded the first shutout of her career in her 26th all-time appearance on Sunday, stopping all 32 shots faced in a 2-0 triumph over the Torrent. The win was also the 10th of her career and 12th time this season she’s made more than 25 saves, one fewer than the 13 such games by Philips. Selected by the Sceptres with the final pick of the 2024 PWHL Draft, Kirk was a two-time NCAA National Champion at Ohio State and is among seven goaltenders to produce this season’s 15 shutouts and one of 11 PWHL goaltenders all-time with a clean sheet.

MÜLLER MEETS HALF-CENTURY MARK

The PWHL’s half-century club for career points now has 10 members with the addition of Fleet alternate captain Alina Müller (15G, 35A) who met the mark with a pair of assists on Sunday in her 69th career game. The Swiss Olympic hero, who was the league’s first international player selected in the inaugural PWHL Draft at third overall, is now the first international player to reach the milestone and the only player to score 50 points entirely in a Boston uniform. Fellow Fleet forward Susanna Tapani of Finland is the next highest scoring international player at 43 career points, followed by Vancouver’s Tereza Vanišová of Czechia with 42.

FIRST CAREER GOAL FOR ANDERSON

The 24-year-old signed with Minnesota after training camp and a five-year collegiate tenure at Northeastern that concluded in 2024.

DENVER– The Minnesota Frost withstood a third period rally by the New York Sirens to grab a 4-3 victory on Sunday afternoon before a crowd of 15,512 at Denver’s Ball Arena as part of the 2025-26 PWHL Takeover Tour presented by Woody Creek Distillers. The Frost built a four-goal lead through 40 minutes before the Sirens scored a trio of goals in a span of 4:25 for an exciting finish.

Grace Zumwinkle led the Frost offense with two goals, including the opening marker at 10:04 of the first period, and the winning tally with a laser streaking down the right wing at 12:32 of the middle frame. Fellow U.S. Olympic gold medalists provided the offense in between with goals from Taylor Heise and Britta Curl-Salemme, with the latter on a one-time blast off a pass from Kelly Pannek. The Sirens used a pair of power plays to cut into the deficit, first with a redirection by rookie Anna Bargman at 12:32 of the third that stood following video review for a potential high stick. Bargman then set up Paetyn Levis for New York’s second goal at 13:50, and defender Allyson Simpson completed her two-point performance by scoring with the player advantage at 16:59. Colorado native Nicole Hensley shook off the three goals to earn the win before her hometown crowd with a 23-save performance. Kayle Osborne stopped 24 shots in defeat.

The win moves Minnesota into a second-place tie with Montréal, three points back of first-place Boston. The Sirens drop down to sixth place, surpassed by Toronto who beat Seattle in regulation at home earlier today. This was the 11th of 16 games on the Takeover Tour schedule and second stop in Denver this season. The Frost have won both of their visits to the Mile High City in two seasons, defeating the Victoire 4-2 last January. Both teams return to action Wednesday with Minnesota hosting Ottawa and New York heading west to Vancouver.

QUOTES

Minnesota Head Coach Ken Klee on if there’s a way teams may approach playing the back-to-back champions: “I think there’s no doubt in our mind we have a mark on our back, because we are the back-to-back [PWHL Champions], so we’re going to get their best game every night. I think that’s our expectation. We’re not going to have an easy game. We know every team is gunning for us to knock us off. I think these guys take it as a challenge and know it’s coming, but also it makes [opponents] bring their best every night, where they know they can’t have shifts off or nights off. It’s part of it. I think our ladies take it as a challenge as well, so it’s good.”

Frost goaltender Nicole Hensley on the importance of having events around the Takeover Tour: “I think it’s huge. I think that’s something that the PWHL has done really well. We don’t just bring a game here. We bring clinics, we bring opportunities to meet athletes, and that’s huge. As someone who grew up here, I didn’t have accessible female hockey player role models that I could actually see in-person very often. It was just when the national team rolled through in 2002 and then again in 2010, so the fact that there’s been three games here for young girls to be able to watch the Grace Zumwinkles and Taylor Heises – that’s so special. Especially on the heels of the [United States] winning gold at the Olympics, that’s only going to grow hockey out west. I think that’s the whole goal for everybody is to grow the game and get more girls in it. That’s only going to help our league.”

New York Head Coach Greg Fargo on what the messaging was going into the third period: “Yeah, for us, the second didn’t go the way we wanted it to. We stepped away from our game. Our group has played a lot of good hockey over the last month or so, and even though the results haven’t been what we want every night, many parts of our game have been consistent. When we’re playing well, we’re doing X, Y and Z. We reminded the group of those things, and I thought we got back to our game in the third period. They responded really well.”

Sirens Captain Micah Zandee-Hart on the players’ perspective going into Takeover Tour games: “I think from the outside it might seem strange that it’s a home game for Minnesota in Denver, but our team has embraced it. We’ve been in a lot of Takeover Tour games this year and have been fortunate to experience them. Seeing the attendance record go up—15,000—and hearing the “we want a team” chant gives me chills on the bench. Even though you’re not in your home rink, there’s so much momentum behind our league and our sport right now. We’re grateful for moments like this with fans we might not normally get to interact with.”

LAVAL, QC  – The Boston Fleet scored four unanswered goals in a thrilling 4-3 overtime win over the Montréal Victoire before a sold-out crowd of 10,172 at Place Bell on Sunday afternoon.

With the win, the Fleet maintain a three-point lead over the Victoire atop the PWHL standings, while handing the Victoire their first loss at Place Bell this season and ending their six-game winning streak. Fleet rookie Ella Huber called game one minute and 33 seconds into the extra frame with a shot through a screen, completing the largest comeback in team history. Boston trailed 3-0 after two periods but evened the score with a trio of goals in the game’s final 14 minutes. Loren Gabel scored Boston’s first goal of the game at 6:01 in the third period, with the Fleet’s next two scored with an extra attacker. Megan Keller gave Boston added life when she closed the gap to 3-2 with under three minutes remaining, then Susanna Tapani sent the game to overtime with the game-tying goal less than 15 seconds before the buzzer. Montréal built their lead by besting the PWHL’s top-ranked penalty kill unit with two power-play goals by Marie-Philip Poulin (14:50) and Kati Tabin (17:00) in the first period, giving the Victoire a 2-0 lead. Abby Roque finished her three-point outing when she capitalized on a 3-on-1 rush to give Montréal the 3-0 lead going into the final period. In a rematch between both starting goaltenders from the gold medal game at the Olympics, American Aerin Frankel turned away 27 of 30 shots on goal for her league-leading 13th win of the season, while Canadian Ann-Renée Desbiens stopped 22 of 26 attempts in her first loss at Place Bell since Dec. 4, 2024.

Boston and Montréal will meet again in two of their remaining 11 games this season, with the first matchup taking place on April 11 when the PWHL plays at a sold-out TD Garden for the first time.

QUOTES

Fleet Head Coach Kris Sparre on the Fleet’s comeback win in overtime: “What everyone got to see tonight was something I’ve had the pleasure of seeing all season long with this group. The resiliency, composure in big moments, and team-first mentality was on display tonight to the fullest extent. This one was a tough one to battle back from, but really there was never a doubt.”

Boston captain Megan Keller on her concern about the Fleet’s first goal of the game being reviewed: “Not really, that one was out of my control. I thought I did a good job staying out of the crease there, but at that point it’s in the ref’s hands. Luckily, they made the right call.”

Victoire Head Coach Kori Cheverie: “I much prefer this happening now than later on down the road, that’s for sure. I probably liked about 48 minutes of our game. The five-minute major definitely hurt us. I thought we did a great job on the kill. There is a lot to be proud of in the game. The result certainly wasn’t what we had wanted. And then with 14.8 seconds left they tie it up. And when that happens to you, you’re pretty deflated, especially with the lead that you had.”

Montréal alternate captain Laura Stacey on the team’s mindset following a tough loss: “There is a lot of disappointment after being up by three, but at the end of the day, we’re a team. It’s not going to be easy, we know that. We knew we were going up against a good team who fought hard. I think the messaging, the feeling in the room is, let it hurt tonight and then we regroup. We have another game here on Thursday, and we’ve got to learn from it [today’s loss]. We’re going to take steps here, we’re going to get better, and we know what we’re capable of. So, I think there’s a lot to learn, but there’s also some really great things to be proud of.”

NOTABLES

Including playoffs, 11 of the 15 all-time meetings between the teams have been decided beyond regulation.

Montréal suffered their first loss beyond regulation in five games played with two overtime wins, two shootout wins, and one overtime loss for nine points.

Today marked the 12th consecutive one-goal game the Fleet have played, a record streak and the most in the league this season. Montréal has played in the most games all-time decided by one goal (51), and Boston has played the second most (47).

Montréal’s six-game win streak ended with their first loss since Jan. 21. Four other six-game win streaks have been set for the second-best mark in PWHL history, including streaks for Boston (Jan. 14 to Mar. 10) and Ottawa (Dec. 21 to Jan. 11) this season.

The Victoire’s seven straight wins at Place Bell before today is tied for the second-longest winning streak at a single venue in a season, matching Boston’s seven straight wins at the Tsongas Center in 2024-25, and one behind Toronto’s eight straight wins at Mattamy Athletic Centre in 2024. The Fleet are now the only team with a perfect record at their primary home venue, with six wins evenly split between Agganis Arena and the Tsongas Center.

Montréal moved past Boston today to own the best power play and penalty kill in the league. Their penalty kill has only allowed four goals in 56 opportunities for a 92.9 rating, while their power play has scored 12 goals in 50 chances for a 24.0 rating. Boston, who allowed two power-play goals today, held the best penalty kill heading into the matchup with three goals allowed in 45 times shorthanded for a 93.3 rating.

This was Montréal’s first loss in 11 games when leading after two periods, and Boston’s second win in three games when trailing after two periods.

Montréal has scored at least three goals in each of their last six games, the second-longest such streak in PWHL history (longest is an eight-game streak by Toronto from Jan – Feb 2025).

Ella Huber has tallied a trio of goals this season, all three of which were game winners, including two in the Fleet’s last four games. The second-round rookie shares a piece of the league lead in game-winning goals but is the only skater leaguewide whose entire goal total consists solely of winners.

Megan Keller recorded the first three-point performance of her career (1G, 2A) and has now tied her career-high for points in a season with 15 (6G, 9A) in 19 games, matching her inaugural season total (4G, 11A) across 24 games. The Fleet captain snapped a season-high three-game pointless streak with today’s effort and holds a four-point lead over the next highest defender.

Susanna Tapani’s game-tying goal marked her fourth point in Boston’s last five games, including three consecutive games with a point (2G, 1A). She sits at 12 points on the season (6G, 6A), just one shy of matching her total in the inaugural season (4G, 9A). The Fleet forward had a multi-point performance in the first game of the season series with one goal and an assist.

Loren Gabel scored her first goal of the season in her fifth game and now has points in her last two appearances with an assist in Seattle on Wednesday. The Boston veteran, activated from the team’s Reserve Player list after the break, has seven goals and 12 points in her career in 42 games.

Abby Roque contributed to all three of Montréal’s goals (1G, 2A) with her second three-point performance in 2025-26, her most such games in a single season, and leads the Victoire with four multi-point performances in 18 games. She has scored six goals in all three PWHL seasons and is now one of 14 players to reach 15 points in multiple seasons, ending a season-high four-game pointless streak today, while leading all skaters with a season-high six shots on goal.

Marie-Philip Poulin recorded her third goal on the player advantage this season, extending her point streak to four games (3G, 1A). She previously recorded a career-high six-game point streak earlier this season from Dec. 20 to Jan. 11 (4G, 5A). The Victoire captain left the game early in the first period and did not return.

Kati Tabin ended a 15-game goalless drought and a season-high four-game pointless drought with her second goal of the season and seventh point. It was the third power-play goal of her career and first since Mar. 12, 2025.

Aerin Frankel extended her career high win streak to seven consecutive games with her league-leading 13th win of the season. She posted her ninth start with at least 25 saves and is now tied with Desbiens for all-time wins with 33, six more than the next closest netminder.

Ann-Renée Desbiens suffered her first loss at Place Bell since Dec. 4, 2024 when New York defeated Montréal 4-1. Today marked the first time she has allowed more than two goals since March 12, 2025 when the Victoire lost 3-2 in overtime at New York.

Alina Müller became the 10th player in PWHL history to reach 50 career points (15G, 35A) with her second straight multi-assist performance. She now has at least 15 points in each of the league’s three seasons. The Boston alternate captain has the second most assists in the league with 12, behind only Taylor Heise (15A).

Haley Winn is the second rookie defender to reach 10 points this season (2G, 8A), joining Minnesota’s Kendall Cooper (1G, 10A). She has totaled half of her points on the road this season and is just the second blue liner in Fleet history to reach double-digit points in a season, following Keller (all three seasons).

Hadley Hartmetz’s assist marked her fourth point (4A) in 16 games this season, putting her third in scoring among Fleet defenders. She did not get on the scoresheet in two games for the Fleet during the 2024-25 season.

Abby Newhook recorded her first point since Boston’s first game back from the Olympic break. The Fleet rookie has seven points on the season (5G, 2A), second among the team’s six new players.

Nicole Gosling recorded a pair of assists for the first multi-point performance of her PWHL career. Her rookie season total is now nine points in 19 games this season, five of which have been scored in the Victoire’s last five games including four on the power play. She leads all Montréal defenders in scoring and is tied for fifth among the league’s rookie class.

Laura Stacey recorded her ninth assist and 12th point in 19 games this season, putting her one away from reaching double-digit assists in consecutive seasons, something only seven PWHL players have done. The alternate captain has five points in the Victoire’s last five games (1G, 4A).

Maggie Flaherty was assessed a major penalty and a game misconduct for boarding, following a review by the on-ice officials in consultation with the PWHL Central Situation Room.

TORONTO  — Raygan Kirk made 32 saves to secure her first career shutout, leading the Toronto Sceptres to a 2-0 win over the visiting Seattle Torrent in front of 8,270 fans at a sold-out Coca-Cola Coliseum on Sunday afternoon.

The win snapped a five-game losing streak at the venue for the Sceptres and extended Seattle’s road losing streak to six. Toronto captain Blayre Turnbull got the scoring started early for the Sceptres, potting her sixth of the season just four minutes into the opening frame. Torrent goaltender Hannah Murphy was strong in the contest, making 24 saves — including 12 in the third period — and preventing Toronto from adding to their lead. After a scoreless second frame, Seattle pushed for the equalizer, firing 13 shots on net in the third period, but Kirk stood tall. The game remained 1-0 until the final seconds, when Sceptres forward Sara Hjalmarsson scored an empty netter with just eight seconds remaining to ice the game. With the regulation win, the Sceptres move into a playoff spot, tied for fourth place in the PWHL standings with Ottawa, who have one game in hand. The team will next hit the ice on Tuesday to take on the first-place Boston Fleet. The Torrent remain in eighth place and look to bounce back on Thursday at Montréal.

QUOTES

Toronto goaltender Raygan Kirk on her first career shutout: “I woke up this morning and was a little bit mad I hadn’t won at home yet. I’ve been feeling that a bit lately, and I think we owed it to our fans after those past few home games. Taking advantage of being at home is a huge edge, and with this crowd and this energy, being able to sleep in your bed.. that was my mentality coming in, and it worked out.”

Sceptres Head Coach Troy Ryan on if this game felt closer to a full 60 minutes of good play: “Closer, but still not there… maybe 40? There’s part of it that I really liked. I spoke with Gina after the game and she really liked 50 minutes of that game, or close to it. For me, sometimes coaches can make it worse; I’m not always watching for the overall. The focus for me is the little details that we’ve worked on in practice, or with a specific player that I know they’re capable of doing it. There’s going to be mistakes happening and we’ve got to be okay with that, but I’m more looking at stacking the small things. I still think we can be substantially better. I think for teams to have success and to win games you need your goalie to step up and make saves when you have those little lulls, and Kirky definitely did that tonight.”

Seattle defender Megan Carter’s reflections on returning to Toronto and Coca-Cola Coliseum: “Toronto is a really special place for me. I had a great time here while it lasted, and it was really special to have some friends and family and see some familiar faces around the rink today.”

Torrent Head Coach Steve O’Rourke on how the team rallies with Hilary Knight, Hannah Bilka and Mikyla Grant-Mentis out of the lineup: “We just make sure we stick to the basics: getting pucks to the net and bodies by the net. You just keep trying to generate those opportunities. I thought [today] we carried some really good momentum and some really good looks in that second period and late in the third we did some good things. Again, it doesn’t matter who is in this lineup. We believe in these players. We have two reserves in there who did a great job tonight and, again, the rest of them, like Danielle [Serdachny], are stepping up and taking on that extra load. It’s not even a thought for us of who is in and who is out — we just get to the job and handle it every night.”

NOTABLES

Toronto wins the four-game regular-season series against Seattle 7-5 in points, outscoring the Torrent 13-11. The Torrent outshot the Sceptres in three of the four games, including today.

Today’s win was Toronto’s first at Coca-Cola Coliseum since Dec. 4, 2025, snapping a five-game losing streak at the team’s primary home venue. The team’s last home victory came on Jan. 17 at Scotiabank Arena, a 2-1 overtime win against Vancouver.

The Sceptres have points in all five games since the Olympics (3-0-2-0), a season high stretch for the team after losing three straight games in regulation before the break.

Seven of Toronto’s 16 first-period goals this season have been scored in the first five minutes, surpassing the Frost for most in the first quarter of the opening frame. Seattle has now allowed the most goals (7) among all PWHL teams in the first five minutes of a contest after entering the game tied with Vancouver in the category.

The Sceptres have scored first in 12 of 21 games, tied for third in the PWHL with Minnesota in the category. With today’s result, they improve to 5-1-1-3 when notching the game’s first goal.

The Torrent have now lost six straight road games since beating the Sceptres in a shootout in Hamilton on Jan. 3 and have the most road losses among all PWHL teams. With today’s loss, they now have eight total losses by multiple goals, also the most in the league, surpassing Toronto and Vancouver.

Raygan Kirk recorded the first shutout of her career in her 26th appearance. The sophomore goaltender has made 30-plus saves in each of her last three starts and has reached the mark seven times this season in 16 appearances.

Kirk made her sixth straight start for Toronto and has earned points in five consecutive games, including three regulation wins — two against Seattle. The goaltender has posted a save percentage above .900 in each of those starts, with today’s perfect mark ranking as her best during the stretch. Kirk has faced 31 or more shots in all four games against the Torrent this season.

Blayre Turnbull’s goal was her sixth of the season, setting a new career high in the category, surpassing the five she scored in the 2024-25 season. The tally also marked her first game-winning goal of the season and second of her career while extending her point streak to a season-high three games (2G, 1A), halfway to the career mark she set in the 2024 season when she had a six-game point streak (1G, 5A) from Feb. 23 to Mar. 17, 2024. Turnbull is now one goal away from 15 on her career, a mark reached by 25 players in league history.

Claire Dalton recorded her seventh assist of the season, setting a new career high and surpassing the six she posted during the 2024–25 campaign with Montréal. The Sceptres forward is now two points shy of matching her point total from each of the PWHL’s first two seasons and is still searching for her first goal as a Sceptre after entering the campaign with eight goals in 50 career games.

Renata Fast notched an assist, extending her point streak to a season-high three games (3A). The 2025 PWHL Defender of the Year now has points in four of her last five games (1G, 4A) since returning from the Olympics, most among PWHL defenders since the break.

Hannah Murphy stopped 24 of 25 shots in the game, posting a .960 save percentage. The mark ties for her second-best this season and is her highest since Dec. 23, when she set a career-high .970 save percentage against Montréal. With just one goal against in today’s game, it marks the fourth time the rookie goaltender has allowed just one goal, all of which came in her first three PWHL starts from Dec. 3 to Dec. 23, 2025.

Sara Hjalmarsson’s goal was her third of the season and her second empty-netter against Seattle. All three of her goals have come in her last five games since returning from the Olympics, after she went pointless through her first 16 games with the Sceptres. 

Jesse Compher recorded the primary assist on Hjalmarsson’s goal to reach double-digit points for the second straight season (6G, 4A). The third-year forward set a career high with 18 points (9G, 9A) in 2024–25 and has four points (2G, 2A) in her last five games.

Emma Gentry recorded her second career point and first career assist in the game, snapping a 13-game pointless streak since scoring her first career goal on Dec. 7.

Alex Carpenter played a season high 24:41, leading all players in the category. The Torrent alternate captain also took a game-high 22 faceoffs, finishing the contest with a 54.2% winning percentage, the 16th time in 19 games she has posted a mark of 50% or better this season.

Danielle Serdachny led all players with seven shots on goal — a new career high — surpassing her previous best of five, set two games ago against Boston on Mar. 11. The second-year forward also tied a career high with five hits in the game, matching the number from Mar. 4 against her former team, Ottawa.

Jada Habisch made her PWHL debut on the Torrent’s fourth line after being signed to a Standard Player Agreement on Thursday with forward Hannah Bilka on LTIR. The fourth-round pick from the University of Connecticut logged a time on ice of 5:35.

Daryl Watts was scratched from the Sceptres lineup today due to illness, missing her third game of the season.

Mikyla Grant-Mentis missed her first game of the season for the Torrent and is listed day-to-day with an upper-body injury.

VANCOUVER– Rebecca Leslie ripped a shot bar-down at 2:59 of overtime to lead the Ottawa Charge to a 3-2 overtime victory over the Vancouver Goldeneyes before a Saturday afternoon crowd of 11,201 at Pacific Coliseum.

It was the 11th time the league’s most productive duo of Leslie and captain Brianne Jenner, who picked up the primary assist, have connected on a goal this season, securing two points for the Charge who move up to fourth place in the standings.

Vancouver had most of the early opportunities by outshooting Ottawa 12-3 in a scoreless opening frame but it was Ottawa who struck first late in the second period on a player advantage.

Fanuza Kadirova capitalized with a one-timer off a redirected pass from Sarah Wozniewicz, giving Ottawa a 1-0 lead in the frame’s final minute. Sarah Nurse tied the game for Vancouver when she skated end-to-end for a highlight-reel unassisted goal at 9:50, then Sophie Jaques followed five minutes later to give the Goldeneyes the 2-1 lead.

Vancouver was less than a minute away from picking up a full three points when Wozniewicz buried the equalizer at 19:06 to silence the crowd.

Gwyneth Philips’ 34-save performance marked her third win in her last five starts and made her the first goaltender to surpass 500 saves this season. Kristen Campbell turned away 14 of a season-low 17 shots on goal for her second consecutive overtime loss when starting for Vancouver.

Vancouver continues its homestand with a fourth straight game at Pacific Coliseum on Wednesday night when they host New York in the final game of the season series. Ottawa makes its first trip of the season to Minnesota on Wednesday night, entering the fourth and final meeting with a 5-4 points advantage over the Frost.

QUOTES 

Charge forward Rebecca Leslie on what she saw to score her game winning goal: “The overtime was close and there was lots of back and forth. It was fortunate for Brianne Jenner to make a hard play in our defensive zone and carry the puck forward. I have been lucky to play with her this season and she’s always going to find me. I kind of took a shot through a screen. I think that our last two goals we scored in this game were just shot through a screen. So, I think that it’s a learning point for us that if we continue to get any shots through, we’ll have more opportunities to get these games won in regulation time.”

Ottawa Head Coach Carla MacLeod on walking away with a win despite being heavily outshot: “It’s not a sustainable model. We know that as a group, we’ve been able to work our way into some points and earn our way out of games that maybe weren’t going our way. Today, Vancouver had a really nice game going, playing on their toes and being quite aggressive on the forecheck. It made our breakouts challenging, but this is a professional industry where you’ve got to find a way to earn your way out. Our group did it again. This isn’t the model that we’re trying to replicate, but our group has stuck with it for 60 minutes and more for this entire season and that’s something we’re proud of.”

Goldeneyes alternate captain Sarah Nurse on her team’s effort and strong start: “We’ve had a lot of time here at home these last few weeks and worked on a lot of things. I was really impressed with our compete level and our fight. We talked about it in the locker room, there were a lot of dominant stretches for us in that game. It was unfortunate that the game didn’t go the way that we wanted it to, but at the end of the day, we have to find ways to win. Regardless of how puck dominant we are, that doesn’t show up in the standings, so we need to find ways to get pucks in the back of the net.”

Vancouver Head Coach Brian Idalski on outshooting Ottawa: “We’ve seen a lot of growth with our o-zone movement and getting off of the wall, not being perimeter and making a point to be hard to play against offensively. Driving hard to get to the paint, making sure that we’re physical with net front presence. We’re seeing a lot of that. We talked early in the year about identity. It takes time for that, but you’re starting to see what we’re capable of and who we are in regards to that identity.”

NOTABLES 

Ottawa wins the head-to-head regular-season series 8-4 in points over Vancouver, outscoring them 13-7 and never surrendering more than two goals in a single game. Today marked the first time the visiting team has won during the four-game series and the first time the result was decided beyond regulation.

The Charge lead the PWHL with a perfect 4-0 record in games decided in overtime, with all four of those victories earned on the road and have now played in a league-high seven games decided beyond regulation (2-1 in shootouts).

Vancouver has lost consecutive games in overtime at Pacific Coliseum and are now 1-4 in the extra period this season after winning their inaugural home opener in OT. They remain one of two teams, along with Minnesota, yet to play a shootout this season.

The Goldeneyes have now lost three straight games at Pacific Coliseum after winning four of their first five at their primary home venue.

Ottawa’s league-leading power play connected with the team’s 13th goal on the player advantage this season in 62 chances for a 21.0 rating. Vancouver has three goals on 45 opportunities for a 6.7 rating, lowest in the league.

Vancouver entered the game averaging a league-low 25.56 shots per game but outshot an opponent for the fifth time this season, leading Ottawa 36-17, for their highest single-game differential of the season. The Charge have allowed the most shots in the league with 638.

Rebecca Leslie is tied for the PWHL lead in goals with 11 and is also tied for the league lead with three game-winners and two overtime tallies. With nine points (6G, 3A) in her last seven games, she is tied for second in the league with 18 points, bringing her career total to 30 in 71 games, joining five other current Charge players who have surpassed the milestone.

Sarah Wozniewicz recorded the second multi-point performance of her rookie campaign with a goal and an assist today for her first points against Vancouver. She is tied for fourth in scoring among rookies with nine points (4G, 5A) in 20 games.

Fanuza Kadirova scored her fifth goal in six games since Jan. 24 and has produced Ottawa’s last two power play tallies. The first-year Russian forward now has seven goals and nine points in 18 games this season, sitting with the third most goals on the team.

Sarah Nurse has produced points in seven of her eight games as a member of the Goldeneyes but found the back of the net for the first time in five outings to bring her season total to five goals and a share of the team lead. She continued her career point streak against Ottawa with 12 points (5G, 7A) in nine consecutive games dating back to the inaugural season and her time in Toronto. The Goldeneyes alternate captain recorded a season-high seven shots on goal to lead all skaters today and became the 12th player in PWHL history to reach 45 career points (22G, 23A), joining teammate Hannah Miller as the only players on the Vancouver roster to reach the milestone.

Sophie Jaques became the fourth defender in PWHL history to record 40 career points (14G, 26A) with her fifth goal of the season. The goal was her first since Jan. 9 in Ottawa, ending a seven-game goalless drought that was her longest since the inaugural season and a four-game pointless streak that was her longest as a member of the Goldeneyes.

Gwyneth Philips became the third goaltender in the PWHL to record 10 wins this season, beating the Goldeneyes for the third time. This was the ninth time in 18 starts she’s stopped 30 or more shots, most in the PWHL, and improved her save percentage to .924 which ranks fifth in the league.

Brianne Jenner’s assist on the winning goal gives the Charge captain points in consecutive games and brings her season point total to 18 (9G, 9A), tied for second across the PWHL. She finished the season series with six points (3G, 3A) in four games against Vancouver to lead all skaters.

Jocelyne Larocque’s sixth assist of the season was her first since returning from Milan and is the most she’s recorded as a member of the Charge after producing five in 24 games with the team last season following a trade with Toronto. The Ottawa alternate captain is one point away from tying her 30-game total from the 2024-25 season.

Ronja Savolainen has contributed an assist on each of Kadirova’s two power play goals (also Mar. 4 against Seattle) and is up to four helpers on the season. Two of her seven points have come against Vancouver, previously scoring in the Charge’s 4-2 win on Jan. 9.

Michela Cava was the lone offensive contributor today among the six involved in the Jan. 18 trade between the teams. The assist was her second in seven games as a member of the Charge and brings her season point total to seven (1G, 6A) in 20 games split between Ottawa and Vancouver.

Claire Thompson recorded her seventh assist to become the first player in Goldeneyes history to reach 10 points in a season. She is the only Vancouver player to produce in all four games against Ottawa this season (1G, 3A). The Goldeneyes alternate captain is the only defender in the league who leads their team in scoring.

Kristen Campbell made her 50th career appearance between the pipes, good for fourth overall on the league’s all-time list. The 17 shots faced today were the fewest in her seven starts as a member of the Goldeneyes.

Kendra Woodland, from Kamloops, had 18 friends and family members in attendance today as she served as Ottawa’s primary backup goaltender due to Sanni Ahola remaining in Ottawa for maintenance.

Emerance Maschmeyer and Katie Chan were scratched from the Goldeneyes lineup, both listed as day-to-day with upper-body injuries.
