Montreal Victoire Secure 3-1 Win Over Toronto Sceptres in PWHL Showdown

Marie-Philip Poulin and Ann-Renee Desbiens lead Montreal past Toronto, snapping the Sceptres' six-game winning streak and extending Victoire's lead in the standings.

Marie-Philip Poulin scored her league-leading 12th goal and fifth game-winning goal of the season, adding an assist in Montreal's victory.
Ann-Renee Desbiens made 24 saves, including a critical stop on Natalie Spooner in the final minute to preserve the win.
Montreal's top line of Poulin, Laura Stacey, and Jennifer Gardiner contributed all three goals and combined for 11 shots on net.
Toronto's Jesse Compher opened the scoring with her eighth goal of the season, but the Sceptres were missing league-leading scorer Hannah Miller due to a lower-body injury.
The win snapped Montreal's two-game losing streak and extended their lead over second-place Toronto in the standings to five points.
