  • The Calgary Inferno’s top pick of the 2016 Draft, Emerance Maschmeyer, recorded her first CWHL shutout last weekend. She now has the best save percentage in the league./
  • Iya Gavrilova has points in four straight games for Calgary. She is now running away with the rookie/first-year player goal scoring lead. Gavrilova has 10 goals in 16 games this year.
  • Charline Labonté and Liz Knox both have four shutouts this year for Montreal and Brampton. The other eight goaltenders that have appeared in at least one game this CWHL season have five shutouts combined./
