In a crucial match between the PWHL's leading teams, Marie-Philip Poulin's standout performance propelled the Montreal Victoire to a 3-1 victory over the Toronto Sceptres. With her league-leading fifth game-winning goal and 12th overall, Poulin showcased her importance alongside teammates Laura Stacey and Jennifer Gardiner. Goaltender Ann-Renee Desbiens also played a key role with 24 crucial saves. Coach Kori Cheverie highlighted the need for top performances in critical moments, emphasizing the dedication and teamwork that brought the win and a five-point lead in the standings over Toronto.
"She's a tough opponent any time you have to coach against her or play against her. She was dangerous every time she was on the ice."
"[Stacey] brings that ability to turn the puck over and I felt like in the past couple of games we weren't having as much success on the forecheck and we were rewarded tonight with those three each getting a goal."
"That group did lead the way and Ann settled us down when we needed her to, especially that big save on Spooner. Your top players have to show up in those moments."
