Overview
- Montreal sealed a 3-2 overtime win on Nicole Gosling’s shot 38 seconds into the extra period before a sellout crowd of 10,172 at Place Bell.
- The winning chance came on a power play that began after a late illegal body‑checking call on Boston’s Shay Maloney.
- Montreal jumped ahead 2-0 on early goals from Jade Downie-Landry and Kaitlin Willoughby, and Boston pulled even on strikes by Jessie Eldridge late in the second and Daniela Pejšová midway through the third.
- With starter Aerin Frankel resting, Boston backup Abbey Levy gave up two early on Montreal’s first three shots then steadied for 28 saves, while Ann‑Renée Desbiens stopped 26 behind Montreal’s heavy shot blocking.
- The result puts Montreal at 16-5-2-5 for 60 points and Boston at 15-5-3-5 for 58 points, and both teams have two games left, including Boston’s home dates against Ottawa and New York.
