Victoire Players to Watch
Marie-Philip Poulin
Captain Clutch is back from injury and has already begun to leave her mark on the 2026 Playoffs. The reigning PWHL Billie Jean King MVP will look to lead the Victoire to a championship after playing at nearly a point per game pace during the regular season.
Ann-Renée Desbiens
The reigning PWHL Goaltender of the Year, Desbiens is having another vintage season for the Victoire, leading the league with a miniscule 1.11 GAA (including seven shutouts) over the regular season.
Lina Ljungblom
A second-year forward out of Sweden, Ljungblom played for her home country at the 2026 Winter OIympics and has been playing great hockey ever since, including a four-game points streak to end the regular season.
Laura Stacey
The heart of the Victoire's attack, especially when legendary teammate Marie-Philip Poulin was out with injury, Stacey tallied 22 points over the regular season and seems to be in the middle of every big moment for Montréal.
