Overview
- Vancouver beat Seattle 4-1, in Tuesday's expansion matchup, to halt a three-game skid and keep a narrow path to the playoffs.
- Sarah Nurse scored early, Hannah Miller reached 50 career PWHL points with a second-period goal, and Anna Meixner and rookie Madison Samoskevich added goals 33 seconds apart.
- Emerance Maschmeyer made 29 saves for Vancouver, while Seattle pulled Corinne Schroeder after 11 stops on 15 shots and backup Carly Jackson turned aside all nine she faced.
- The win leaves Vancouver at 30 points in seventh place, with Seattle last at 26, in a league that sends only its top four teams to the Walter Cup playoffs.
- Daily Faceoff reported this was Seattle's 19th loss, a PWHL record for a season, and elimination now lets the Torrent start earning Gold Plan draft points that decide the top pick.
