WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
The Fleet own a three-game winning streak against the Sceptres after winning three of the first 10 games between these two teams all-time. The Fleet’s only longer win streaks against single teams are an active 10-game streak against the Sirens and a four-game run against the Charge in 2024-25.
Toronto leads the PWHL with 11 points (3-0-2-0) in five games since the Olympic break, representing the team’s longest point streak of the season. Boston (1-3-0-1) collected nine points across its five-game road trip, the longest trip in team history, tied with Montréal (2-1-1-0) for second in post-Olympic points.
Raygan Kirk made 32 saves to shut out the Torrent, 2-0, Sunday. It was the first shutout win by the Sceptres in the regular season in over a year (last was Mar. 8, 2024 vs. MTL). All six of the Sceptres’ shutout wins all-time, including the postseason, have come at home. It is the most home shutout wins by any team in PWHL history.
Sara Hjalmarsson has scored all three of her goals this season since the Olympic break, which is tied for most in the PWHL (with Taylor Heise, Rebecca Leslie and Fanuza Kadirova). She did not have a point in 16 games prior to the break.
Daryl Watts, who won the Patty Kazmaier Award in 2018 with Boston College, scored two goals in Toronto’s last game at Agganis Arena on Mar. 26, 2025, a 4-2 win over the Fleet. Renata Fast scored the winning goal. Both players are riding three-game point streaks.
Blayre Turnbull is also riding a three-game point streak (2G, 1A) for the first time since the inaugural season after scoring the winning goal on Sunday. The captain’s next point, her 12th, will set a new career high. She scored Toronto’s only shorthanded goal of the season against Boston on Nov. 29.
The only other Sceptre to score against the Fleet this season is Emma Maltais, who was born in Boston, but calls Burlington, ON, home. The team’s only Massachusetts native is defender Kali Flanagan, of Burlington, MA.
Tonight’s game features the three highest scoring defenders in PWHL history: Ella Shelton (17G, 26A), Megan Keller (15G, 28A), and Fast (10G, 33A), each with 43 career points.
The Fleet overcame a 3-0 deficit in Montréal to beat the Victoire, 4-3, in overtime over the weekend. It was the largest comeback win in Fleet history and tied for the largest in PWHL history. The others are two three-goal comebacks by the Sirens over the Charge (Feb. 4, 2024 and Mar. 25, 2025) and a Charge comeback against the Sceptres (Dec. 23, 2025).
Including their overtime win at Montréal, the Fleet’s last 12 games have been decided by exactly one goal or a shootout (3-5-2-2). The Fleet’s 12 one-goal/shootout games this season are the most in the PWHL and the longest streak in league history.
Boston has won all three of its games at Agganis Arena this season in regulation and is also undefeated at the Tsongas Center with two regulation wins and a shootout victory. Their win in Montréal snapped the Victoire’s perfect seven-game winning streak at their primary home venue this season.
Ella Huber scored the overtime winner in Montréal, her third goal of the season and third game-winner. It was her first career overtime goal and the first overtime goal by a Fleet rookie all-time.
Alina Müller became one of 10 players in league history to reach 50 career points Sunday with her second straight multi-assist effort. Four of her 13 career multi-point games have come against Toronto, scoring a goal and an assist on Jan. 14.
Jessie Eldridge, acquired by Boston in a Monday trade with Seattle in exchange for Theresa Schafzahl, will make her Fleet debut tonight. She has already played against the Sceptres four times with four points in the season series, including a season-high goal and two assists on Jan. 20.
It’s Frozen Four week and eight Fleet players and eight Sceptres competed for three of the four programs in contention for the NCAA crown including 10 from Ohio State, four from Wisconsin and two from Northeastern. Kirk won 2022 and 2024 titles with the Buckeyes alongside Boston’s Riley Brengman, Hadley Hartmetz and Amanda Thiele. Clair DeGeorge and Liz Schepers were on the 2022 squad, while Olivia Mobley and Kiara Zanon also won in 2024. Boston’s Sophie Shirley won three titles with Wisconsin including one with Jesse Compher (2023) and one with Watts (2021).
WHAT THEY’RE SAYING
“We know that the atmosphere is going to be intense at Agganis Arena, but we are focused on our goal of securing three points that are important for us. The last few games have been positive for us, and we are excited to continue to build on that momentum and continue to play to our best ability and details.” – Sceptres defender Kali Flanagan
“The biggest thing for us is going to be having pride on our home ice, which I think we’ve done a great job of so far this season. We want to utilize our strengths right from puck drop and come in hot. We have some of the best fans in the league, so we’re looking forward to showing them what we’ve been doing the past couple of months. We’re thrilled to be back in front of our fans and looking to keep playing the way we have been on the road.” – Fleet rookie forward Abby Newhook
TUESDAY’S GAME: Boston returns home for the first time in 48 days and are the final PWHL team to celebrate the league’s 61 players who competed in the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026 on home ice. Today, March 17, 2026, has officially been declared “Boston Fleet Olympic Medalist Day,” a proclamation made by Councilor Sharon Durkan at the team’s View Boston celebration event with fans on Mar. 2. A large crowd is expected at Agganis Arena to celebrate the Olympians and St. Patrick’s Day, with Toronto in town for the second and final time this regular season. Festivities begin ahead of puck drop with a pre-game party at Sunset Cantina starting at 4:30 p.m. ET, held in partnership with The Sports Bra. In celebration of the Fleet’s return to Boston and the city’s Irish roots, fans are encouraged to participate in a “Green Out” and get in their seats early for a ceremonial puck drop by Haley Winn’s brothers, Ryan, Casey and Tommy. The Winn brothers recently went viral while supporting their baby sister in Milan by planning themed outfits and sharing heartwarming social videos. Fans can find activations throughout the concourse from NWSL’s Boston Legacy, Beantown Softball, William James College and a sign-making station sponsored by Midea. During warm-ups, two Team IMPACT participants who helped design goaltender Abbey Levy’s helmet will have a special opportunity to join the team on the bench. This is the first time Boston has ever played on St. Patrick’s Day, while Toronto faced Montréal at Pittsburgh’s PPG Paints Arena on this date in 2024, winning the second neutral site game in PWHL history by a 2-1 score.
