LAVAL, Que. — Claire Dalton had a goal and an assist as the Montreal Victoire defeated the Boston Fleet 3-1 on Monday night in the Professional Women’s Hockey League.
Anna Wilgren and Kristin O’Neill also scored, while Ann-Renée Desbiens stopped 18 shots for Montreal before a sellout crowd of 10,172 at Place Bell.
The Victoire took over first place in the six-team PWHL standings with their fourth consecutive win. They have 13 points, one more than the Minnesota Frost. Hilary Knight replied with her third of the season for Boston , which lost its second game in a row and sits last in the league.The two teams met for the first time since Boston beat Montreal in the PWHL semifinal last season. Boston edged Montreal in three straight overtime games — including a triple OT marathon in Game 2 at Place Bell — to sweep the series.
Fleet: Knight is halfway to matching last season’s total of six goals, an encouraging sign for Boston. The Fleet, however, have only 12 goals through six games to rank last in the league, continuing a trend from last season.O’Neill put Montreal up 2-1 with a short-handed goal at 17:12 of the second period. The 26-year-old centre beat Soderberg five-hole on a breakaway, ending Boston’s power play 30 seconds in thanks to the league’s “jailbreak” rule. Wilgren then doubled the lead at 18:27.
