VANCOUVER (March 1, 2026) - Raygan Kirk was outstanding between the pipes for the Toronto Sceptres on Sunday afternoon, backstopping her team to a 2-1 victory over the Vancouver Goldeneyes before a crowd of 13,264 at Pacific Coliseum. Kirk's 25 saves gave the Sceptres a second straight west coast win post Olympics, bringing them into a tie with Ottawa for fifth in the PWHL standings. Emerance Maschmeyer, fresh off representing Canada in Milan, was equally impressive with 22 saves for the seventh-place Goldeneyes, who took the ice for the first time following the break. The Sceptres struck for two goals in 57 seconds early in the first period. First, Sara Hjalmarsson stayed hot with her second goal in as many games at 7:10, then rookie Lauren Messier cashed in her first PWHL goal at 8:07, both off passes from Claire Dalton. A pair of former Sceptres connected for the Goldeneyes goal at 9:07 of the third period when Izzy Daniel buried a centering feed from Hannah Miller to cut the deficit to one. Kirk stood tall down the final stretch as the Goldeneyes sustained pressure in the offensive zone with the extra attacker in search of the equalizer. This was the first time in three games of the season series where the visiting team emerged victorious, following a 2-1 Sceptres overtime win in Toronto on Jan. 17, and a 5-0 Goldeneyes win in Vancouver on Jan. 22. The teams will meet one more time in Toronto on Mar. 29. In the meantime, the Sceptres are back in action Tuesday when they host first-place Montreal, while the Goldeneyes will play the second of a five-game homestand on Mar. 10 against Boston.

"We're looking to close out the west coast trip on a high note. We know that there are some details that can still be better to make sure we are playing our game for the full 60 minutes. Using the momentum and confidence from our last game, I think we'll be coming out hard and fast on the puck." - Sceptres forward Lauren Messier |
