[JMCx4]

2-2 after 2 in Ottawa. It's amazing how the Sceptres have been infected by the bad puck luck bug indigenous to T.O. hockey. No cure on the market, so they'll have to find a home-brewed antidote. Maybe move the team to Buffalo?

 

[JMCx4]

Toronto scores two 3rd period goals on Charge turnovers. Final score = TOR 4- OTT 2.

ETA: The long form ... SCEPTRES SNAP LOSING STREAK WITH 4-2 VICTORY OVER CHARGE

A little light reading, while waiting for the MIN @ NY/NJ Pre-Game Primer to drop ... PWHL WEEKLY NOTEBOOK: JAN. 14, 2025

 

[JMCx4]

Tonight's main (and only) event for The P' ... MINNESOTA AT NEW YORK JAN. 15 PRE-GAME PRIMER

 

[VaCaps Fan]

Good matchup

 

[JMCx4]

End of one period at The Pru, NY 1 - MN 0. Minny's Kelly Pannek had the first puck-in-net, but a review ruled she deflected that puck with a high stick. The Sirens are putting their forecheck to work as usual, but the Frost are likely to sort that out during the intermission.

 

[JMCx4]

End of 2, tied 1-1. KCS halted the shutout streak for Corinne Schroeder @ 178m:16s with an early net front midair deflection (below ever Kendall's shoulders ). Otherwise, New York killed off three minor penalties (two back-to-back) while the goalies at both ends stood firm.

 

[JMCx4]

End of regulation = Frost 2 - Sirens 2. After New York tuned the iron twice behind MIN goalie Maddie Rooney in the first half of the 3rd, Minny defender Mellissa Channell-Watkins blasted a shot past Schneider (her first PWHL goal) with about 9 minutes left. The Sirens were awarded their only PP with under 4 minutes left, and they began the advantage with 6 skaters. Frost 4v6 killed off the 2 minutes, but NY forward Sarah Filler tied it using 6 skaters with 1:01 left.

 

[JMCx4]

Controversial no-call late in the OT, but no goals in 3-on-3 play. Shootout Time.

 

[JMCx4]

Final Score in a 7-round shootout = MIN 2 - NY 3.

ETA: New York forward Jessie Eldridge scored twice in the shooter's game for the win.

The P'-ublicity Dept. is burning the midnight oil ... SIRENS COME BACK FOR A 3-2 SHOOTOUT WIN OVER FROST
