In Order to Avoid Losing Streak, Toronto Needs to Find Even-Strength Scoring
While the nine-game point run was ended versus the Montréal Victoire a loss was bound to happen but Toronto is sitting pretty otherwise. No reason for concern right?
Heading into their 12th game of the season, the Toronto Spectres looked dead in the water. In the 11 previous games the Sceptres had won all of three games. With no Spooner return in sight and scoring looking scarce the Sceptres were predicted to be the first team looking at the Gold Plan. Then, they host the New York Sirens at Scotiabank Arena and win 4-2. A power play goal by Sarah Nurse in the third period breaks the 2-2 tie and breaks a three-game no power play goal streak. This win then sparks the Sceptres to go on a nine-game point streak where they’ve won five games in regulation, two games in overtime, and lost two games in the shootout.
The game at Scotiabank Arena also sparked the Sceptres being on an incredible power play run. They’ve scored a power play in every game in their nine-game point run with three games where the Sceptres have scored two power play goals and two games where they have scored three power play goals. This nine-game run has seen the Sceptres shoot up from last in the league to currently be sitting in second place in the PWHL by points (32) and third in points % (0.508). While the nine-game point run was ended versus the Montréal Victoire a loss was bound to happen but Toronto is sitting pretty otherwise. No reason for concern right?
