Alina Mller, Jamie Lee Rattray score 2 minutes apart and the Fleet beat Charge
2-1 in PWHL playoffs
LOWELL, Mass. (AP) --- Alina Mller and Jamie Lee Rattray scored less than two
minutes apart late in the second period, and the Boston Fleet beat the Ottawa
Charge 2-1 on Thursday night to begin a best-of-five semifinal.
Mller took a pass from Jessie Eldridge, split two defenders and sent a shot
over the glove of goaltender Sanni Ahola with 2:03 left in the second for her
third career playoff goal. Eldridge entered on a four-game point streak, with
four goals and three assists to conclude the regular season.
Then Rattray scored one minute, 31 seconds later on a backhand shot through the
pads of Ahola.
Boston has never lost a Game 1 in any playoff series, including its trip to the
Walter Cup finals in 2024.
Ottawa defender Jocelyne Larocque scored the first goal of the PWHL playoffs on
a power play. She tipped in Rory Guilday's shot with 1:54 left in the first for
her second goal of the season.
It was the first time in five meetings this season that a Boston-Ottawa game
wasn't decided in overtime or a shootout.
Up next Boston hosts Ottawa in Game 2 on Saturday. ___ AP women's hockey: https://apnews.com/hub/womens-hockey |
