LAVAL, QC (January 13, 2026) – The Montréal Victoire skated to a 2-1 victory over the Ottawa Charge on Tuesday night before a crowd of 7,408 at Place Bell in the first meeting of the season between the Canadian rivals and a rematch of the 2025 PWHL Playoffs. The Victoire have now won three-straight games and stopped the red-hot Charge, who entered tonight’s action with a team record six-straight wins. All three goals were scored in the first period of play, including two on the power play. Shiann Darkangelo was the first to strike with the player advantage at 3:58, pouncing on a rebound off the end boards to give the Victoire the lead. The former Charge forward picked up her second point against her old team, assisting on Jessica DiGigirolamo’s first goal of the season at 14:18 to make it 2-0 for the Victoire. The Charge offense came to life late in the period on the power play when Ronja Savolainen capitalized on a loose puck at the top of the crease, just three seconds before the buzzer. Ann-Renée Desbiens stood tall the rest of the way for the Victoire, turning aside 17 of 18 shots to earn her sixth win of the season for a share of the league lead. Gwyneth Philips returned to the Charge crease tonight to make her 11th start of the season and stopped 29 shots in defeat. Tonight’s win moves Montréal into a tie for second place in the standings with Minnesota, while Ottawa drops down to fifth. The teams will meet again at Place Bell on Jan. 24.
