Kristin O'Neill had a goal and an assist in helping lead Montreal to a 5-2 win over New York and clinch a playoff berth in the Professional Women's Hockey League on Wednesday.
The victory moved Montreal (9-3-5-5) into a tie for first place with Toronto. Each team has 38 points, with Toronto having a game in hand. Catherine Daoust, Catherine Dubois, Laura Stacey and Melodie Daoust, with an empty-netter, also scored for Montreal. Ann-Renee Desbiens made 31 saves. Marie-Philip Poulin picked up one assist to move past Toronto's Natalie Spooner for top spot in the PWHL scoring race with 22 points. Ella Shelton and Alexandra Labelle, with a short-handed effort, scored for New York (3-4-3-11). Corinne Schroeder stopped 20 shots. The loss eliminated New York from playoff contention in the six-team league. New York failed to capitalize on its power play, coming up empty on three opportunities in the first period and finishing the game 0-for-5. Montreal was 2-for-4 with the extra player.
