TORONTO, ON (February 1, 2025) – Toronto Sceptres captain Blayre Turnbull led her team to a 4-2 win over the Ottawa Charge on Saturday afternoon, scoring two goals and an assist in front of a sold-out crowd of 8,351 at Coca-Cola Coliseum. Toronto’s league-leading power play continued to dominate to break open the scoring, as Julia Gosling netted her first PWHL goal – with a primary assist from Turnbull – to give the Sceptres the lead with two minutes to go in the opening frame. Emily Clark evened the score for the Charge nearly four minutes into the second period, but Turnbull responded just three minutes later to put the Sceptres back on top. Toronto’s power play went to work once again as Renata Fast extended the lead to two, putting the Sceptres up 3-1 heading into the final frame. Turnbull added an insurance marker three minutes into the third period – her second goal and third point of the night – to put Toronto up by three. Ottawa cut their deficit in half just under four minutes later with a goal from Kateřina Mrázová, but the Charge failed to ignite a spark in the game’s final minutes, as the Sceptres held on for the win. Rookie goaltender Raygan Kirk turned aside 30 of 32 shots to secure her third win of the season in net for the Sceptres, while Emerance Maschmeyer stopped 14 of 18 shots for the Charge in her league-leading 11th start of the season. With a win heading into the international break, the Sceptres leapfrog into fourth place with points in four straight games, while Ottawa drops down into a tie for fifth place with their third straight loss.
