In a highly contested match, Toronto Sceptres goaltender Elaine Chuli made a remarkable 29 saves to secure a crucial 2-1 victory over her former team, Montreal Victoire, at the Bell Centre. Chuli's impressive performance marked her first start against Montreal, where she previously served as the backup goaltender. The Sceptres' offense was led by Jesse Compher and Daryl Watts, who scored crucial goals for Toronto. Compher opened the scoring in the first period, while Watts capitalized on a turnover to regain the lead in the second period. Abby Roque's goal for Montreal tied the game, but Chuli's outstanding saves ultimately secured the win. The victory marked Chuli's third win of the season and propelled the Sceptres into sole possession of second place in the PWHL standings. Despite missing key players Renata Fast and Allie Munroe due to lower-body injuries, the Sceptres demonstrated their resilience and determination. The Sceptres will host the Minnesota Frost on Tuesday, while the Victoire will face the New York Sirens on Friday. This match was the fifth PWHL game at the Bell Centre and the second meeting between the two teams at the arena, with Toronto emerging victorious in both encounters.
