Shiann Darkangelo on Thursday made the Go-furward round midway through the third period to raise the host Montreal Victor Victor in Game 1 of his best PWHL semi-final series to raise more than 3–2 Ottawa charge.
Emily Clarke collected a loose Pak in Ottawa’s aggressive area and quickly gave it to Darkengello, who shot a tiebracing goal with a previous goal of N-Reni Desbians 9:17 in this period.
Brian Jenner and Ashton Bell also scored for charge, who could take a commanding series lead on Sunday in Game 2 before shifting a series in Ottawa next week.
Morin Murphy and Mary-Filip Polyn had goals for Montreal, which excluded Ottawa from 33–27. However, the allegation bent over the goalkeeper Gwneth Philips, who saved 31. Desbians stopped 24 shots for Montreal.
Montreal finished the season in the first place, allowing it the right to choose its first round playoff rival. Victor passed the fourth position in favor of the third seeded charge on the Minnesota Frost.
