WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
Following two post-Olympic wins for both teams, this is the fifth and final meeting between the Victoire and Sceptres this season, and the first to take place in Toronto (two games in Laval, one in Montréal, one in Halifax). It’s also the first head-to-head season series to be completed across the PWHL. The Sceptres are 3-0-1-0 all-time against Montréal in Toronto and 3-2-2-4 in all other locations.
The Victoire beat the Frost, 4-0, at home on Sunday to extend their season-high win streak to five games. Montréal has scored four goals in each of its two games since the Olympics after doing so in just two of its first 15 games this season. The Victoire had six such games last season.
Montréal is 6-2-0-1 in its last nine games since sitting in eighth place on Jan. 4, outscoring opponents by 15 goals (23-8) in those games. The team with the next-best goal differential in that span is Minnesota at +6. The Victoire’s 0.89 goals against per game in that span also leads the league with the next-best mark belonging to Boston (1.67). Every other team is allowing at least 2.00 goals per game in that span.
Hayley Scamurra had a pair of assists in Montréal’s win over Minnesota on Sunday, giving her six assists in her last seven games. She had two points (1G, 1A) in her first 10 games this season. The Olympic gold medalist is one of four Victoire players with at least seven assists this season, second most in the PWHL (Minnesota, five).
Laura Stacey has points in three consecutive games (1G, 3A) for the first time this season, after scoring Sunday to snap a career-high eight-game goal drought. Her first career shorthanded ‘jailbreak’ tally was the exclamation point on a Victoire penalty kill that ranks first in the PWHL (92.0%). They are also the only team yet to surrender a SHG.
Marie-Philip Poulin leads the season series with three points (1G, 2A), scoring her goal on Jan. 28 in the 3-0 win before the Olympic break. The Montréal captain needs two assists to become the first PWHL player to reach at least 30 goals and 30 assists for their career.
The Sceptres welcome back their nine Olympians, tied with the Victoire for the most in the PWHL. In Milan, Toronto led the PWHL with six Canadian silver medalists, two players on Sweden, and had the league’s only player on Italy. Twelve players from these two teams played in the gold medal final, including 11 Canadians.
Toronto has won consecutive games for the first time this season after going 0-1-1-6 in their final eight games heading into the break. Over that entire 10-game stretch (since Dec. 30), Toronto scored 11 goals in three games against Seattle and six goals in its other seven games.
Claire Dalton assisted on both Toronto goals on Sunday, her first career multi-assist game. Dalton, who spent her first two PWHL seasons with Montréal, has tied her career high in assists set last season (six).
Lauren Messier’s first goal Sunday was scored with her sister in the crowd from Edmonton seeing her play for the first time in the PWHL. She’s one of six players from both teams to score their first goals of the season post Olympics, with fellow Sceptres Renata Fast and Sara Hjalmarsson, and Montréal’s Jade Downie-Landry, Skylar Irving, Lina Ljungblom. Montréal leads the PWHL with 16 different goal scorers, Toronto has 15.
Kali Flanagan recorded her first points in consecutive games this season and can extend her streak to three games for a new career high. The 2018 Olympic gold medalist is one of four Sceptres defenders with five points, along with Fast, Savannah Harmon, Ella Shelton, most in the PWHL.
Raygan Kirk has won back-to-back games for the first time this season but is winless in three starts against Montréal. Her next win would match her rookie total (5). Ann-Renée Desbiens has started all four games of the season series, allowing just four goals with a .962 SV% and has two post-Olympic wins.
Toronto has the fewest third period goals in the PWHL (10) including just one empty net tally at Coca-Cola Coliseum. Montréal has the second fewest third period goals with 11.
WHAT THEY’RE SAYING
“It should make for a great matchup as both teams have won two games following the Olympic break. We will need to match their intensity to neutralize their momentum. Toronto always brings the best out of us and we are looking forward to the challenge.” – Victoire Head Coach Kori Cheverie
“The whole team is so excited to be back home and to see the fans back at Coca-Cola Coliseum. There's another three big points on the line. We want to build off our success out west and bring good details with the puck to this game against Montréal. These games are always fast and exciting, and I’m sure this match will bring the same energy.” – Sceptres defender Anna Kjellbin
