Natalie Spooner, the reigning PWHL MVP, is set to return for the Toronto Sceptres after recovering from off-season knee surgery. Her comeback is bittersweet as the team has recently lost key player Sarah Nurse to injury. Spooner, who was injured during last season's playoffs, will face the same team that eliminated her Sceptres last May. In her absence, she remains tied for the all-time PWHL goal-scoring lead. Sceptres GM Gina Kingsbury expressed pride in Spooner’s journey back to health and performance, emphasizing her elite athlete status.
I'm excited to be back with my teammates and looking forward to competing next to them again.
It was obviously a long road to get to this point and doesn't happen without a lot of amazing people in my corner.
We are tremendously proud of the work she has invested in getting herself to this point. This has been a long journey.
Even after missing half of the Sceptres' games this season, Spooner is still tied with Montreal's Marie-Philip Poulin for the all-time PWHL goal-scoring lead.
