LAVAL, QC (January 17, 2025) – Montréal secured a 4-2 victory over Minnesota in front of a sold-out home crowd at Place Bell on Friday night, powered by two goals from former Minnesota forward Abby Boreen. The game was the second straight contest between the top two teams in the PWHL, with the Victoire moving into a tie for first place with two games in hand with the regulation victory.
Boreen started–– and finished–– the scoring for Montréal, recording her first tallies against her former team. Her first of the contest came midway through the opening period, her first power play goal of the season, to give the home team a 1-0 lead. Boreen then got the insurance marker just over 10 minutes into the third period to cap off the first multi-goal game of her PWHL career.
Claire Dalton and Marie-Philip Poulin each found the back of the net early in the second period, making it 3-0 for the Victoire before Frost captain Kendall Coyne Schofield responded for Minnesota with just over two minutes to play in the second. Minnesota’s Michela Cava got her fifth of the season, a power play marker, with 3:44 remaining in the third period. Montréal’s Erin Ambrose had three assists in the game, a season-high for the defender. Ann-Renée Desbiens recorded 22 saves on 24 shots for her fifth win of the season.
