OTTAWA, ON (March 15, 2025) – Hilary Knight led the Boston Fleet to a 5-2 victory over the Ottawa Charge with a three-point performance on Saturday afternoon at a sold-out TD Place. The win moved Boston into second place in league standings with 38 points, while the Charge remain five points back from the fourth and final playoff position. After a scoreless first period, Alina Müller opened the scoring midway through the second, with Knight earning her first assist of the afternoon and Shay Maloney picking up the secondary assist. At 19:59, Tereza Vanišová scored the PWHL’s latest goal in a regulation period, tying the game at one going into the third frame.
Boston’s season-high four goals in the third period came consecutively, starting at 2:42 with Theresa Schafzahl’s goal, which gave the Fleet their second lead of the game. The Fleet’s next two goals came from Knight and Jill Saulnier, with each player earning the only assist on the other’s tally, giving Boston a commanding 4-1 lead. Lexie Adzija earned her first goal of the season––an empty net goal–– with the Fleet final marker at 19:11. Ottawa’s Natalie Snodgrass scored a late goal to make the final score 5-2. Aerin Frankel recorded her twelfth win of the season with 26 saves on 28 shots. Ottawa rookie goaltender Gwyneth Philips recorded 24 saves on 27 shots in the loss.
I turned on the TV to watch this game yesterday and YouTube auto started another game, which I did not realize was an old game. Looks like I missed a heck of a Boston win.
