Four skaters net their first PWHL goal in Sirens' win over Sceptres
Published
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Noora Tulus scored the first of four New York goals in the second period and the Sirens used the momentum to post a 4-2 victory over the Toronto Sceptres on Wednesday night.
The onslaught had the oddity of including the first PWHL goal for all four scorers — Tulus, captain Micah Zandee-Hart, Emmy Fecteau and Jaime Bourbonnais. The goals by Fecteau and Bourbonnais were scored with a player-advantage and the Sirens scored on two of four power plays. Toronto was 0-for-1 with the advantage.
Toronto scored early in the third, Hannah Miller picking up her second goal of the season in the third minute, and Kali Flanagan scored unassisted with 30 seconds remaining.
After being outshot 14-7 in the second period, the Sceptres applied the pressure in the third, with a 14-9 advantage. New York (2-1-0-1) finished with 30 shots; Toronto (1-0-0-3) with 29.
Corinne Schroeder stopped 27 shots for New York and Toronto's Kristen Campbell stopped 26.
Toronto dominated the series 4-1 in last season's inaugural run for the PWHL.
The Sceptres have lost three in a row, matching their longest losing streak of last season.
Toronto hosts Montreal on Saturday.
New York will play at home against Minnesota on Sunday.
