Sirens Eliminated From PWHL Playoffs Despite OT Win Over Sceptres

Toronto’s playoff fate now hinges on Ottawa’s result.

Overview

  • New York, which won 1-0 in overtime Tuesday on Allyson Simpson’s goal, was eliminated because the victory did not come in regulation.
  • Toronto gained one point from the overtime loss and now trails Ottawa by one, and the Charge can clinch the final berth with a regulation win over Boston.
  • If Ottawa falls short against Boston, Toronto and Ottawa will play a winner-take-all regular-season finale in Ottawa on Saturday.
  • Kayle Osborne posted a 21-save shutout for New York, while Toronto’s Raygan Kirk made 32 saves as the Sceptres managed only 10 shots through 40 minutes.
  • With a third straight miss, the Sirens enter the PWHL’s Gold Plan draft-order race with Seattle and Vancouver, and Seattle already holds a draft-order point.
