WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
The Sirens and Torrent will wrap up their regular-season series with the league’s first-ever game at Madison Square Garden, and all four of their games have taken place in different states (Washington, Texas, Illinois, New York). Seattle scored a 4-1 win in Chicago on March 25 in the last meeting between the teams, tied for the largest margin of victory in Torrent history (also a 4-1 win over Ottawa in December).
The only team that Seattle has beaten twice in regulation is the Sirens despite the Torrent having exactly 20 shots on goal in each of the two victories. The Torrent are 4-0-0-2 when attempting fewer than 25 shots on goal and 2-1-2-12 when attempting at least 25.
Danielle Serdachny leads the Torrent with four points in the season series and has scored in each of her last two games against the Sirens. She has three career goals against New York and three total goals against all other PWHL teams combined.
Alex Carpenter has scored two goals and one assist in three games against her former team this season. The Torrent alternate captain is one point away from becoming the third in PWHL history to reach 60 career points, with 43 of them produced in two seasons with New York. Her 334 faceoff wins are 78 more than the next highest center.
Hilary Knight has a goal and two assists in two games against the Sirens this season and has produced in nine of her 13 career games against New York (6G, 9A). The Torrent captain and five-time U.S. Olympian, expecting 16 friends and family members in attendance, scored a goal and an assist at Madison Square Garden in the PWHPA’s Dream Gap Tour on Feb. 28, 2021, the venue’s first-ever professional women’s hockey game, but without fans due to pandemic restrictions.
Mikyla Grant-Mentis returns to the Torrent lineup after a five-game absence due to an upper-body injury. Her best offensive game of the season came against New York with a goal and an assist on Dec. 28 in Dallas.
Torrent rookies Lily Delianedis (Cornell) and Hannah Murphy (Colgate) return to their collegiate state for the first time as professionals. Serdachny (Colgate) and Julia Gosling (St. Lawrence) also get their first opportunity after only facing the Sirens in games at Prudential Center.
New York is coming off a 4-3 overtime win over the Frost, their first win of the season when trailing after two periods. It was also the fifth straight time the Sirens have allowed three or more goals. The only longer streak three or more goals allowed in PWHL history was a six-gamer by Ottawa in Jan/Feb 2025.
Sarah Fillier scored twice in a record span of 14 seconds to tie Wednesday’s game, then became the first PWHL player to complete a hat trick in overtime. It was the 17th hat trick in PWHL regular-season history but just the second when having only three shots on goal (Jade Downie-Landry, also for New York, on Jan. 20, 2024). Fillier has nine points (7G, 2A) in eight games post-Olympics and is two shy of 50 for her career.
Casey O’Brien is riding a four-game point streak (1G, 5A) and leads all rookies with 18 points in 22 games (6G, 12A). The third overall pick had a breakout performance against Seattle in Dallas on Dec. 28 with her first three career goals. Born in lower Manhattan and a lifelong New York Rangers fan, tonight’s game is a full-circle moment for the 24-year-old.
Micah Zandee-Hart was recently honored as a 2026 Thurman Munson Award recipient for excellence in sports and community service. The captain is one of three Cornell alumnae on the Sirens, along with Jaime Bourbonnais and Kristin O’Neill, who get the opportunity to compete at MSG after watching the men’s team do it annually in their Red Hot Hockey Tournament. The Sirens also have in-state collegiate connections in Clarkson’s Lauren Bernard and rookie Anne Cherkowski, Colgate’s Kristýna Kaltounková, Kayle Osborne and Allyson Simpson and St. Lawrence’s Kayla Vespa.
Simpson, who launched her ‘Shake On’ initiative in honor of her father James and in support of Parkinson’s disease research and awareness, surpassed her $20,000 goal for The Michal J. Fox Foundation, with proceeds following the Sirens’ Community Heroes game on Wednesday.
New York (29.50) and Seattle (28.30) rank 2-3 in average shots on goal per game and 1-2 in first period goals allowed with the Sirens conceding 27 to the Torrent’s 22.
Sirens players will be taking the NYC subway and PATH train to the game, and all players have family flying in from across North America to watch tonight’s history unfold.
WHAT THEY’RE SAYING
“It's going to be super special to step on the ice at Madison Square Garden. It's such an iconic arena and to bring the best women's hockey to that rink will be amazing. I hope it shows that we can play on the biggest stages, at the biggest venues, in front of the biggest fans in the world. Having all these sold-out games in Seattle and now at MSG just shows how much growth the game has had and how many new fans we have every week.” – Torrent Alternate Captain Alex Carpenter
“Playing at Madison Square Garden is incredibly significant. It’s one of the most iconic venues in sports, and to have our players compete here is both a milestone and a reflection of where the women’s game is headed. At the same time, this is very much about who we are as a team. The energy, the grit, the pride of this market — New York and New Jersey — that’s what we want to represent every time we step on the ice.” – Sirens Captain Micah Zandee-Hart
SATURDAY’S GAME: The stage is set for the PWHL to make its historic debut at The World’s Greatest Arena as the Sirens host the Torrent inside iconic Madison Square Garden. The sold-out game, presented by e.l.f. Cosmetics, will set a U.S. arena record for a women’s hockey game, eclipsing the current benchmark of 17,335 fans on Feb. 27 in a sold-out Climate Pledge Arena where Seattle hosted Toronto. Madison Square Garden becomes one of 34 venues to host a PWHL game all-time, including one of 20 venues with a current NHL team, with both of those numbers to increase next Saturday when Boston hosts Montréal at TD Garden. Tonight’s ceremonial puck drop will be performed by Billie Jean King and Ilana Kloss, the PWHL’s founding Advisory Board members, trailblazers and long-time women’s sports advocates. King helped lead the creation of the Virginia Slims Circuit in 1970, which debuted at Madison Square Garden in 1977, to give women a viable professional pathway at a time when opportunities and pay were deeply unequal. Her leadership turned a bold player-led rebellion into a sustainable tour, proving that women’s sports could attract fans, sponsors, and serious investment, which ultimately led to the formation of the Women’s Tennis Association and reshaped the future of women’s professional sports. Also in attendance representing iconic women’s sports figures will be boxer Amanda Serrano, who made history on April 30, 2022, in the first women’s boxing match to headline Madison Square Garden and described as the ‘biggest women’s fight of all time’. She will read the Sirens pregame lineup. Kelley O’Hara, a two-time FIFA Women’s World Cup champion and 2012 Olympic gold medalist, will read the Torrent starting lineup. In celebration of the league’s historic night and continued momentum, the PWHL has partnered with TOGETHXR to launch a limited-edition “Everyone Watches Women’s Hockey” collection, available for the first time at tonight’s game.
