Overview

  • New York, which surged late Wednesday in Newark, scored three unanswered in the third to beat Toronto 3-2.
  • Casey O’Brien tipped a Nicole Vallario point shot for the winner with under four minutes left and became the second rookie in league history to reach 20 points.
  • Denisa Křížová pulled one back 39 seconds after Toronto went up 2-0, and Maja Nylén Persson tied it on a power play with 5:07 to go.
  • The result extended the Sirens’ home streak to four straight wins, their longest in a single season, before a three-game road finish that starts in Ottawa on Saturday.
  • Kayle Osborne stopped 24 shots for New York while Raygan Kirk made 26 saves for Toronto, and Sarah Fillier’s assist helped pace a lineup leaning on rookies and late-game special teams.
