NEWARK, NJ (February 2, 2025) – Marie-Philip Poulin powered the Montréal Victoire to their fifth-straight win on Sunday afternoon, scoring both of her team’s goals in a 2-1 victory over the New York Sirens at Prudential Center. After a scoreless first period, Poulin opened the scoring less than a minute into the second period as she fended off three New York players to find the back of the net in a one-on-three play. The Victoire captain struck again four minutes later, firing the puck top shelf to double Montréal’s lead heading into the final frame. The Sirens continued to fight late into the game, as Allyson Simpson netted her first PWHL goal to spark life into the New York bench with seven minutes left in the game. While the Sirens continued to push for the equalizer, Ann-Renée Desbiens stood tall in net for the Victoire, turning aside 23 of 24 shots for her league-leading eighth win in her 10th start of the season. At the other end of the ice, rookie netminder Kayle Osborne stopped 18 of 20 shots between the pipes for the Sirens in her fourth start. Montréal’s team-record five consecutive wins extends their stronghold on the league’s top spot with 31 points - six ahead of second-place Minnesota heading into the international break, while New York remains in third place with 20 points.
