WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
Montréal and Boston are competing for first place in the PWHL standings and the opportunity to select their playoff semifinal opponent between third-place Minnesota and the team that finishes in fourth. The Victoire can clinch first if they earn at least one more point tonight than the Fleet earn tomorrow.
The Victoire have won all three games between these teams in regulation, outscoring the Goldeneyes 8-2 across the three games. The only two goals allowed were both scored at Pacific Coliseum on Dec. 20, followed by two shutout wins. Vancouver has earned at least one point against every other PWHL team.
Montréal beat Boston, 3-2 in overtime, at home on Friday, extending their winning streak to seven games, the second longest in league history behind Toronto’s 11-game streak in 2024. Their point streak is now at 16 games, five longer than any other, with an 11-3-2-0 record since Jan. 21.
Nicole Gosling scored the overtime winner on Friday, extending her point streak to four games (1G, 3A). Two of the rookie’s three goals have been game-winners, with the other coming against Vancouver in a 1-0 win in Québec City on Jan. 11. The defender has points in seven straight road games (1G, 6A), excluding the Detroit Takeover Tour as the home team.
Laura Stacey is riding a six-game point streak (2G, 5A), tied for the longest streak of the season and one shy of tying the league record (Alex Carpenter, 2024-25). She is also one shot from tying her own single-season record of 112 after being held without a shot on goal Friday and has been held to one shot in two of the three games against the Goldeneyes.
Hayley Scamurra leads the season series with three points (2G, 1A) but has been held off the scoresheet since her first career multi-goal game against Vancouver on Apr. 1. Lina Ljungblom has a three-game point streak (1G, 3A) but none of her season’s eight points have come against the Goldeneyes.
Sandra Abstreiter earned her first of three season and career wins at Pacific Coliseum back on Dec. 20 with a 27-save performance in her first start with the Victoire.
Vancouver is playing their first of two games for ‘draft order points’ per the league’s ‘Gold Plan’ initiative for non-playoff teams to determine the first overall pick in the 2026 PWHL Entry Draft. The Goldeneyes need a win tonight to prevent Seattle from a clinch scenario in their game tomorrow.
The Goldeneyes beat the Torrent, 6-5, in overtime in Seattle on Saturday. It was their second game with at least five goals in their last four games. They scored five goals in just two of their first 24 games this season, with both of those games at Pacific Coliseum where they have averaged 2.82 goals per game.
Jenn Gardiner became the first player in PWHL history with a four-goal game on Saturday, capping off her record-setting effort with the overtime winner. The four goals by the Surrey native and former Victoire doubled her season total. For comparison, there have been just 12 instances of a player scoring at least four goals including an OT goal in NHL history.
Also on Saturday, Hannah Miller became the first player in PWHL history to record a second four-point game in her career, both times with two goals and two assists (Toronto against New York on Feb. 19, 2025). There have only been three other such games in PWHL history (one each by Stacey, Brianne Jenner and Kelly Pannek). Miller has goals in consecutive games for the first time as a Goldeneye.
Sophie Jaques’ three assists on Saturday marked her second three-point game in her last four outings. Vancouver’s top scorer leads the team with 100 shots and is one point away from 50 for her career, a milestone reached last week by Miller and Sarah Nurse, but yet to be achieved by a PWHL defender.
Tereza Vanišová leads Vancouver with two points (2A) against Montréal, both on home ice, and has three points in her last three games at Pacific Coliseum (1G, 2A).
Vancouver (6-0-0-1, .857) and Montréal (15-2-1-2, .833) have the best records when scoring first, but the Victoire (1-3-1-3, .417) have the best record when allowing the first goal while the Goldeneyes have the worst record (2-2-4-13, .222).
WHAT THEY’RE SAYING
“We know we will be facing a very hungry team, which should be a good test for us, and will allow us to grow as the playoffs get closer. We need to continue to focus on ourselves and how we can become a better team every day.” – Victoire Head Coach Kori Cheverie
“Last game we showed a lot of resiliency. We were down by two goals, came back, tied it up, down by a couple goals -- I think the way that we continue to fight back and show up for each other is just really who we are as a team. I was really proud of the group for not packing it in and continuing to stick with our game plan. Our sisterhood in the locker room is represented by the way that we show up for each other on a daily basis, and I think that's going to continue to be there for these next couple of games.” – Goldeneyes forward Jenn Gardiner
TUESDAY’S GAME: It’s the final week of the PWHL regular season with Vancouver welcoming Montréal to Pacific Coliseum for the first of two final home games for the Goldeneyes and the first of two final road games for the Victoire. Tonight is the Goldeneyes South Asian Heritage Celebration Unity Game, presented by London Drugs, designed to recognize and celebrate the rich cultures, histories, and contributions of South Asian communities across British Columbia and beyond. This game will spotlight the diversity within South Asian communities through dance, art, and storytelling, while creating space to honour the deep cultural roots and ongoing impact of South Asian leaders, artists, and organizations. Through intentional programming and community collaboration, the Vancouver team aims to foster connection, representation, and belonging, both within the game experience and across the broader hockey community with the following experiences:
- Cultural performances that highlight South Asian artistry and storytelling
- Community organization presence and fan engagement
- In-game recognition of South Asian artists, leaders, and changemakers
- Cultural and educational storytelling woven into key game moments
The Goldeneyes are proud to welcome Arshdeep Bains and Chase Wouters from the Abbotsford Canucks to tonight’s game. In February 2024, Bains became just the fourth Punjabi player to play a game in the NHL. He grew up together with Goldeneyes forward and fellow Surrey, BC, native Jenn Gardiner, and will perform tonight’s ceremonial puck drop.
Vancouver-based mural artist Jag Nagra will be featured as the game’s spotlight artist. A proud member of the Punjabi and queer communities, Jag is known for her bold, vibrant work that explores identity, culture, and storytelling through contemporary visual art. As part of the Unity Game, the Goldeneyes commissioned Jag to create a custom, mural-style piece that celebrates South Asian culture and representation in sport, which will be printed as a limited-edition poster and given to the first 1,000 fans at arena entry.
Sunehri Arts Club, an all-girls dance group, will perform during TV timeouts in the first and second periods. Featuring traditional Bhangra and Giddha, these performances celebrate Punjabi culture through high-energy movement, music, and storytelling, bringing vibrancy and cultural expressions directly into the game experience.
Community organizations with a presence at the game will be Sher Vancouver and Let Her Talk.
The Goldeneyes also look forward to hosting guests from Women of Hockey Colour Collective and Girls Forward as part of Sophie’s Sisters and Nursey Night initiatives with exclusive post-game meet and greets with Sophie Jaques and Sarah Nurse.
