WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
A New York win over Toronto would clinch first place for Montréal in the standings and the opportunity for the Victoire to choose their semi-final playoff opponent (third or fourth seed). The Sirens have already clinched the top pick in the draft order of selection among non-playoff teams.
The Sirens have won three straight games for just the second time in team history, with all three wins earned on the road and in regulation. New York won three straight games beyond regulation during the inaugural season (2OT, 1SO), from Feb. 4-21, 2024. The only other time they have won consecutive games in regulation was the final two games of the inaugural season, both at home.
The Sirens became the first team in PWHL history to record consecutive shutout victories in the regular season, backstopped by Corinne Schroeder in both games (1-0 at Montréal, 2-0 at Minnesota). New York has been involved in six of the league’s 11 shutouts this season, winning five.
Schroeder’s 33 saves on Sunday against the Frost was the highest total in a shutout victory this season and third highest all-time following Boston’s Aerin Frankel (41 saves at Minnesota on Feb. 25, 2024) and Ottawa’s Emerance Maschmeyer (35 saves vs Minnesota on Apr. 20, 2024).
This marks New York’s final road game of the season, playing to a 6-1-2-5 record as the visitors for a .524 points percentage which is tied for second in the league. Last season, New York went 2-3-2-5 on the road (.389) which tied for last.
The Sceptres return to Coca-Cola Coliseum for the first time since Mar. 19, when they last played the Sirens. Toronto is pushing to claim home ice advantage in the playoffs, and their record shows home is where the heart is. The Sceptres have a 6-1-2-2 record at Coca-Cola Coliseum this season and also picked up a regulation win over New York at Scotiabank Arena on Jan. 25. Since the New Year, the Sceptres have won six of their seven games in Toronto and have not lost in regulation since New Year’s Eve vs. Ottawa.
The Sceptres lost to the Fleet on Saturday despite leading in shots 29-15. The +14 shot differential is the largest in a shutout loss for any team this season. The largest differential in a shutout loss all-time is +18 when Minnesota outshot Boston 41-23 in a 2-0 loss on Feb. 25, 2024.
Renata Fast was on the ice on Saturday for 25:33, her 11th time exceeding 25 minutes this season which is most in the PWHL. New York’s Micah Zandee-Hart ranks second with nine games with 25+ minutes of ice time, followed by teammate Ella Shelton and Boston’s Megan Keller, both with eight.
Hannah Miller (5G, 3A) and Daryl Watts (2G, 4A) lead the season series in scoring and are among 12 skaters on the team to record a point against New York in five games this season.
The Sceptres, who have averaged 28.68 shots on goal per game this season, have recorded at least 28 shots on goal in every single game against the Sirens all-time (10). The next longest such streak in any PWHL matchup is six games.
WHAT THEY’RE SAYING
“We’re excited for the challenge tonight against one of the top teams in the league. We feel like we have more to prove, and we’re focused on continuing to play good hockey these final two games. Tonight is another opportunity to show what we’re about.” – Sirens Head Coach Greg Fargo.
“Stick to our game plan. Obviously, we would love to have home ice advantage in the playoffs – that's one of our goals – so we just want to stick to our game plan, come out with intensity and energy, and I think our play will take care of itself.” – Sceptres defender Savannah Harmon.
