The Toronto Sceptres rallied from a sluggish start to defeat the Ottawa Charge 3-2 in overtime in a Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL) game at Rogers Place in Edmonton. Despite being outshot 17-2 in the opening period, the Sceptres found their rhythm, with Daryl Watts scoring the game-winning goal in overtime.
Toronto Sceptres ' Daryl Watts and Kali Flanagan celebrate a goal against the Ottawa Charge during overtime PWHL action in Edmonton, Sunday, Feb. 16, 2025.The team talked very little about what it would be like to play in front of a sold-out Rogers Place, because they’d already played in the big arenas the Toronto Maple Leafs and Vancouver Canucks call home.
Yet, they found their way back into the game, and when Daryl Watts scored a wraparound goal 51 seconds into overtime, it lifted the surging Sceptres to a 3-2 Professional Women’s Hockey League victory over the Charge. “This is such a cool experience for all of us,” said Watts. “It’s not everyday that you get to play in an NHL rink, especially this one, it’s so beautiful. It was electric. It was hard not to get incredibly excited.”But, had it not been for the play of Sceptres netminder Raygan Kirk, there would have been no Toronto comeback. She gave up a goal on Ottawa’s first shot, but then held the Sceptres in the game, allowing Toronto to exit the first only down 1-0.
Ottawa tied the game at 4:10 of the third, as the Charge’s Tereza Vanisova walked into a shot from the slot. It was the Czech’s team-leading eighth goal of the season.PWHL goalie opens up about long road to becoming a professional hockey playerand Stephanie Markowski are from Edmonton.
