Minnesota Frost v. Montreal Victoire – 7p ET
In Montreal, the Victoire played host to the Minnesota Frost, and after a scoreless first period Laura Stacey opened the scoring for Montreal for the 1-0 lead. However, late in the second period Taylor Heise tied the game at one while on the powerplay with her fifth of the season for the Frost. Then after a scoreless third period and overtime, Marie-Philip Poulin scored the winner in the shootout to give the Victoire the 2-1 victory over the Frost.
Today the Professional Women’s Hockey League announced their Three Stars of the Week for the week of February 24th through March 2nd.
First Star – Laura Stacey (F – MON)
With a goal and an assist in each contest, Stacey helped Montréal make some franchise history, sweep its two-game week and build its first-place lead to seven points over Toronto entering Women’s Empowerment Month. Saturday against Boston, before a “Duel At The Top” crowd of 17,324 at Montréal’s Bell Centre, Stacey scored with 16.3 seconds remaining in overtime – launching herself toward the rebound of a Cayla Barnes shot and sending a 10-foot backhand into the net as she landed. The Victoire have two overtime victories this season and Stacey has scored the winner in both of them; she notched the other just 15 seconds into extra time at Toronto on Dec. 21. Just 36 seconds into The Duel, Stacey assisted on the fastest goal from the start of a game in Victoire history, teaming with Jennifer Gardiner to set up the first of two goals by defender Kati Tabin. In Montréal’s other contest, Feb. 25 against Toronto, Stacey set up Gardiner’s 1-1 goal at 4:01 of the second period and added the 3-1 tally into an empty net with exactly one minute left in regulation. With goals in three straight games and 7-5—12 for the season, Stacey is second on the team in tallies to the 12 by Marie-Philip Poulin (12-5—17).

Second Star – Gabbie Hughes (F – OTT)
Hughes earned 3 Stars Of The Week recognition for the second time in three weeks after scoring two goals and setting up a third in Ottawa’s only contest – a 5-4 overtime conquest of the New York Sirens at TD Place Feb. 26. In doing so, Hughes recorded her second three-point performance and third multi-point effort in a five-game span since the international break, totaling 5-3—8. The second Star of the Week for games of Feb. 10-16 opened the scoring 3:15 into the game and closed it just 36 seconds into overtime, giving Ottawa its first overtime victory in team history and pulling the Charge within two points of fourth-place Minnesota. She also set up the goal by Emily Clark that gave the Charge a 4-3 lead at 5:21 of the third period. Hughes has 14 goals in her PWHL career and four of them have been game-winners. With 5-5—10 for the season, she is within two points of matching last year’s 9-3—12. Hughes is tied for third on the Charge in goals, behind Clark (7) and Tereza Vanišová (9), and her point total is third on the team behind Clark (14) and Vanišová (13).

Third Star – Kati Tabin (D – MON)
Tabin had a career-best two goals, and a season-high five shots on net, in Saturday’s Duel at the Bell Centre. Her two-goal performance – the first by a Victoire defender in team history – started with a 50-foot wrist shot from the left point that sailed past Stacey’s screen and beat Boston goalie Aerin Frankel inside the post to her right just 36 seconds after the opening draw. Tabin’s second goal was a slap shot, also from the left point, that tied the score 2-2 at 13:01 of the third period and set the stage for Stacey’s dramatic OT winner. The five-shot game ended a nine-game stretch in which Tabin had totaled only six shots. The five shots also topped her previous season-high of four, at Toronto Dec. 21, and was the second-highest total of her career; Tabin had seven shots on goal at Boston, Feb. 4, 2024. With 3-2—5 for the season, the 27-year-old from Winnipeg is one point shy of matching last season’s 1-5—6.

Then in the third period Emily Clark score to reclaim the lead for the Charge again, but Abby Roque would score to tie the game at 4 for the Sirens to force overtime.

Toronto Sceptres v. Montreal Victoire – 7p ET
In Montreal the Victoire look to end the Toronto Sceptres winning streak, and in the first period Jesse Compher would strike first for the Sceptres to take the 1-0 lead. In the second period Jennifer Gardiner scored to tie the game at one and Marie-Philip Poulin scored to give Montreal the 2-1 lead. Then in the third period Laura Stacey’s empty net goal gave the Victoire the 3-1 victory over the Sceptres.
Today the Professional Women’s Hockey League announced their Three Stars of the Week for the week of February 17th through 23rd.
First Star – Emily Clark (F – OTT)
Clark contributed two goals, two assists and eight shots to Ottawa’s attack during a week in which the Charge split a pair of narrow decisions at TD Place – losing a 3-2 verdict in overtime to the Boston Fleet on Thursday before collecting a 3-1 triumph Saturday over the Montréal Victoire. Clark created some late-game heroics in the game against Boston, helping to force overtime by setting up Tereza Vanišová’s game-tying 15-foot rocket to the top corner with 2.9 seconds remaining in regulation play. Clark participated in all three Ottawa goals on Saturday – setting up Stephanie Markowski’s first career PWHL goal at 9:08 of the first period, then answering Laura Stacey’s second-period goal with one of her own at 16:41 of the second and adding an empty-net score with 1:07 to play. That tally capped the first multi-goal game and three-point performances of Clark’s PWHL career. Clark is riding a five-game point streak, the longest current run in the PWHL, authoring 3-5—8 in that skein and raising her season’s total to 6-7—13. The six goals is a PWHL career high for Clark and her current point total is within two of matching the 4-11—15 she aggregated in 24 games last season.

Second Star – Kristen Campbell (G – TOR)
Campbell made 23 saves in a 4-1 victory at New York on Wednesday and followed that performance with 22 stops in a 2-1 triumph over the Frost at Xcel Energy Center in Minnesota – the Sceptres’ first victory ever at Xcel. Sunday’s victory was Campbell’s fifth of the season and her third straight – her longest such run of the campaign. The 27-year-old from Brandon, Man., has permitted only one goal in each of those past three outings. The only goal she surrendered to Minnesota was scored by Michela Cava during a Frost power play. New York’s Alex Carpenter was the only player to beat Campbell at even strength during the two games that helped Toronto run its overall winning streak to six. The second-place Sceptres have points in nine consecutive games and have pulled within two points of league-leading Montréal (which has played three fewer games) heading into tomorrow night’s showdown against the Victoire at Place Bell.

Third Star – Hannah Miller (F – TOR)
Miller had a hand in all four Toronto goals Wednesday, becoming the first PWHL player to collect two goals and two assists in a single contest as the Sceptres defeated the Sirens 4-1 at Prudential Center. Miller became the third PWHL player, and the first forward, to collect four points in a single game, joining defenders Claire Thompson of Minnesota (1-3—4 against Ottawa Dec. 19) and Erin Ambrose of Montréal (0-4—4 on Mar. 8, 2024). On the way to earning her third PWHL 3 Stars of the Weekrecognition of the season and her second in as many weeks, Miller opened the scoring with an even-strength goal at 7:53 of the second period, then helped Toronto’s league-leading power play (21 for 62, 33.9%) produce three goals to seal the outcome. On an assist from Miller, Julia Gosling notched the 2-0 game-winner during a Toronto power play at 13:12 of the second period and Miller padded the Sceptres’ lead to 3-0 at 9:19 of the third. Less than two minutes after Carpenter gave New York some comeback thoughts, Gosling collected her second of the night – on assists from Miller and Renata Fast – just 19 seconds after New York’s Gabby Rosenthal took a minor for high-sticking. With 10 goals this season, Miller trails only Marie-Philip Poulin of Montréal, who has 11. Miller’s 12 assists lead a four-way tie for third among PWHL playmakers.

Not really news, but we here at TXHT would like to apologize for the lack of coverage we have been doing the past two weeks. I feel ill due to the flu, and was having some other medical issues that I’m still getting under control right now, and it has affected my ability to cover the PWHL and work on my other projects these past few weeks.
I’m hopeful that these issues are behind me, and that I can continue to give the PWHL the coverage you expect from TXHT.
