LAVAL, Que. — With two-time Olympian Laura Stacey out of the Victoire lineup with an injury, coach Kori Cheverie was in search of the right fit to fill her spot on Montreal’s top line with captain Marie-Philip Poulin and Jennifer Gardiner.
Cheverie turned to Abby Boreen to fill the role Friday against the visiting Minnesota Frost. The move paid off as she scored two goals in a 4-2 win.
“I liked what they brought, for sure,” said Cheverie. “Boreen kind of adds that speed and tenacity. It’s definitely something that helps with Poulin. I’m just proud of her.” Boreen spent last season as a reserve player for the Frost, recording five points over nine regular-season games. The Somerset, Wi., native also had one assist over five playoff games in Minnesota’s run to the Walter Cup.
Boreen played a season-high 19 minutes for Montreal, nearly two minutes more than her previous high against Toronto on Jan. 8.
