Overview
- The PWHL-leading Fleet sent Theresa Schafzahl to Seattle for Jessie Eldridge in a one-for-one swap announced Monday.
- Eldridge reached Boston on Tuesday and debuted that night, posting one shot and a minus-2 in 20:36 during a 2-0 loss to Toronto.
- The defeat was Boston’s first at home this season, with Toronto’s Raygan Kirk recording her second consecutive shutout.
- Team sources tied Boston’s move to a need for scoring help given injuries to Jill Saulnier (concussion, day-to-day), Zoe Boyd (ACL, out for season) and Sophie Shirley (LTIR).
- Seattle lauded Schafzahl as a steady two-way fit, and both players are on contracts that expire at season’s end with the PWHL trade window closing March 30.
