OTTAWA, ON (November 17, 2025) – Toronto completes the preseason scrimmage sweep against Ottawa with a 3-0 win, backstopped by goaltender Raygan Kirk who set aside all 23 shots against. The Sceptres once again opened the scoring with Kiara Zanon notching her second goal of the preseason, this time a shorthanded marker. Emma Maltais scored twice in the third frame to secure the win, with Daryl Watts assisting on both goals. With the additional preseason overtime period, neither team scored, followed by the Sceptres taking the shootout portion 3-2 with Sceptres goals from Clair DeGeorge, Anneke Rankila and Emma Woods, and Charge goals from Kateřina Mrázová and Anna Meixner. Mrázová was the closest to beat Kirk in regulation time, but her shot hit the post. Charge goaltenders Gwyneth Philips and Kendra Woodland split action, with Philips stopping 18 of 19, while Woodland set aside 10 of 12. This was both teams’ final game of the preseason.
Toronto will open the regular season on the road on Nov. 21 against Minnesota, while Ottawa will begin action at home against New York on Nov. 22.
