Prior to that loss, Ella Shelton had the regulation marker, her fourth, as New York lost 2-1 to Toronto in a shootout, earning a point on the road.
New York forward Alex Carpenter has eight goals and eight assists to lead the PWHL with 16 points.
This is the third meeting of the season between the two clubs.
