In front of 9,389 fans, Seattle carried the momentum from their late third-period comeback win over the New York Sirens before the international break, led by the forward line of Alex Carpenter, Julia Gosling and Hilary Knight who combined for three goals and seven points. Gosling opened scoring on a Torrent power play with just three seconds remaining in the first period. Carpenter broke the game open in the second period with a pair of goals, coming 6:25 (PP) and 11:29 into the frame. Hannah Bilka was involved in three of the game's four goals, recording a primary assist on Gosling's goal and assisting on Carpenter's first goal, before an empty net goal of her own at 18:30 of the third period. Ottawa's Rebecca Leslie refused to let the Charge go away quietly, stealing the shutout from Hannah Murphy with her late third period goal at 19:21. Murphy turned away 24/25 shots to record her second win in two starts, the first rookie in PWHL history to accomplish the feat.
