Tapani, Keller score, Frankel has shutout as Fleet top Victoire 2-0 in season
opener
LOWELL, Mass. (AP) --- Susanna Tapani scored 73 seconds into the game, Megan
Keller added a power play goal early in the third period and the Boston Fleet
capped opening weekend of the PWHL season with a 2-0 win over the Montreal
Victoire on Sunday.
Aerin Frankel made 25 saves for Boston.
Tapani put a shot on goal from the left circle and it trickled past Ann-Renee
Desbiens.
Marie-Philip, who took a double-penalty late in the second period, was
penalized for an illegal check as soon as she got out of the box in the third
period. Keller took advantage, patiently waiting on the edge of the crease
until the puck found her for an insurance goal.
Desbiens made 26 saves.
UP NEXT Montreal: The Victoire have their home opener against New York on Tuesday. Boston: The Fleet are at Toronto on Saturday. ___ AP women's hockey: https://apnews.com/hub/womens-hockey |
