WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
Toronto has won all four of its road games in regulation since the Olympic break, including three straight by scoring only two goals per game. The Sirens beat the Sceptres in their last meeting, 2-0. Three of the Sirens’ four all-time wins against the Sceptres have been shutout victories, accounting for three of the Sceptres’ eight shutout losses all-time.
The Sceptres are coming off a shutout loss against the Charge, 2-0, in which the Sceptres led the game in shots, 42-18. It was the most shots on goal in a shutout loss by a team in PWHL history. It tied for the second-largest shots on goal differential (+24) in a PWHL game all-time (the largest was +25 on Dec. 31, 2024, also a Toronto loss to Ottawa).
Jesse Compher was involved in three of Toronto’s four goals in December’s win at Prudential Center with her first career multi-goal game and three-point performance. She had three total points (all assists) in 11 career games against the Sirens entering this season.
Blayre Turnbull and Emma Maltais each scored in Toronto’s last game at Prudential Center. Turnbull has been the Sceptres most productive player post-Olympics with eight points (5G, 3A) and 32 shots on goal in her last 10 games. Maltais has been held without a point in nine straight games, the longest stretch of her career. Daryl Watts has been held off the scoresheet in two straight games and has never reached three as a Sceptre.
Raygan Kirk has only allowed four goals in four road wins since the Olympics and has nine straight starts with a .900 save percentage or higher. Elaine Chuli started the first two games against New York and made 37 saves at Prudential Center, the only time this season Toronto has conceded 40 shots on goal.
A young fan who beat leukemia was featured on the jumbotron at the Sceptres’ last home game on Saturday. After receiving an incredible standing ovation from the crowd, she was later surprised with a Barbie x Sceptres Belt Bag that was signed by the team and got to meet some of the players.
Claire Dalton and Sara Hjalmarsson joined the U18 Scarborough Sharks on Monday to make fresh food to distribute to community organizations. The 142 sandwiches they made were handed out to those experiencing food insecurity through Club Sandwich Toronto.
The Sirens bring a three-game home winning streak into their final home game of the season. It is the longest home win streak in a single season in team history (they also had a three-game streak spanning 2024 and 2024-25). It is tied for the longest active home win streak in the PWHL with the Victoire. New York will need at least two points in its next two games to have a chance of earning the fourth and final playoff berth.
Sarah Fillier leads all PWHL skaters with four goals in April. It matches her most goals in a month this season (four in March) and is one shy of her most in a single month all-time (five in March 2025). The Sirens alternate captain has six goals in her last three home games and is point away from 50 career. New York is the only team without a current 50-point scorer.
The Sirens’ five goals against Toronto this season have all been scored by players currently on the injured reserve (four by Kristýna Kaltounková, one by Taylor Girard). Between injuries, offseason movement and suspension (Micah Zandee-Hart), the last time a Sirens player projected to play in this game scored against the Sceptres was Dec. 18, 2024 (Jaime Bourbonnais and Emmy Fecteau).
Casey O’Brien has five assists in her last three home games and is one point shy of becoming just the second rookie in PWHL history to record 20 points (Fillier, 2024-25). Anne Cherkowski had a primary assist at Madison Square Garden and her next point will give the Sirens four rookies with double digit points (they already lead with three such players).
Kayle Osborne’s last of three shutouts this season came against Toronto with 31 saves on Jan. 6. Six of her nine wins have come when stopping 25 or more shots, and the Sceptres rank third in average shots on goal per game (28.31).
New York is tied for the league lead with 25 third-period goals, including six in their last three home games. Toronto’s 15 third-period goals are the fewest in the PWHL, but they have scored six in their last four road games.
The Sirens hosted a spring break clinic Apr. 8 with 22 girls on the ice, joined by Elle Hartje, Kristin O’Neill, Kayla Vespa and Maddi Wheeler. After tonight’s game, players will continue community outreach visiting patients in the children’s unit at Newark Beth Israel, in partnership with RWJ Barnabas Health.
WHAT THEY’RE SAYING
“Our last game, we did so much right but have some details to address to make sure that we come away with a win. Every game is so important, and we need to make sure our shots are high quality and we are finishing them around the net to put ourselves in the best position for this final stretch in the battle for the final playoff spot.” – Sceptres forward Natalie Spooner
“We’re really excited to be back at Prudential Center and play in front of what we expect to be another great crowd. Our fans have been incredible for us all season, and we feed off that energy. We know what’s at stake right now as we continue to fight for a playoff spot, but our focus remains on what’s directly in front of us. We believe in this group and the way we’ve continued to grow together. Now it’s about putting that together for a full 60 minutes against a strong Toronto team.” - Sirens Head Coach Greg Fargo
WEDNESDAY’S GAME: New York will be the first PWHL team to play its final home game of the regular season tonight as they welcome Toronto to Prudential Center in the first of two games in seven days between the teams as they battle for the fourth and final berth in the PWHL Walter Cup Playoffs. It’s the Sirens Pride Celebration Unity Game, presented by e.l.f.

Developed in collaboration with local community partners, the game centers authenticity, inclusion, and representation, creating space for celebration, connection, and recognition throughout the PWHL game experience. Programming throughout the night highlights the role of LGBTQ+ communities across all levels of sport and society—from grassroots and recreational leagues to advocacy organizations and support networks—reinforcing the importance of visibility, access, and belonging both on and off the ice.
