VANCOUVER, BC (January 8, 2025) - The Montréal Victoire came out on top in the second game of the PWHL Takeover Tour ™ with a 4-2 win over the Toronto Sceptres in front of a season-high 19,038 fans at a sold-out Rogers Arena in Vancouver. The Victoire opened the game with first period goals from Mikyla Grant-Mentis and Claire Dalton, while captain Marie-Philip Poulin added a second period highlight-reel tally to give her team a three-goal lead by midway through the second period. Daryl Watts opened the scoring for the Sceptres with a power play goal less than a minute after Poulin’s tally to cut Toronto’s deficit to 3-1 after two periods. A third period marker from Jesse Compher brought the Sceptres to within one as they continued to apply pressure in an attempt to complete the comeback. However, their efforts were snuffed following an empty net goal from Poulin – her second of the game – to secure a 4-2 win for Montréal. Kristen Campbell stopped 21 of 24 shots faced in her fifth start of the season for the Sceptres–– and first since Dec. 18. Meanwhile, Ann-Renée Desbiens turned aside 29 of 31 shots, picking up her fourth win this season between the pipes for the Victoire.
