Fargo pulled Shanahan to take a 6-on-4 lead after a boarding penalty on Fleet defender Noemi Neubauerova at 14:29 of the third, but Jill Saulnier won a puck battle in Boston’s zone and scored an empty-netter at 14:56.

Keller, Eldridge and Liz Schepers each scored two points; Keller led all PWHL defensemen with 22 points (seven goals, 15 assists) in 2025–26.

“I thought we did a good job of getting first touches on pucks on both ends of the rink in the first 40 minutes of the game, and that led to a lot of offensive zone time. We had few chances offensively, and were really limited on their timing and the quality of their looks,” Fargo said. “I have to give credit to Boston, they definitely had a little something up their sleeves in the third period and came at us. And credit to them for doing that, and the way they finished the game.”

The Fleet won their 11th consecutive game against the Sirens, the longest winning streak between two teams in PWHL history. New York’s last win against Boston came on March 25, 2024, during the league’s inaugural season.

Highlights after Sirens’ season ends with shutout loss to Fleet

The siren’s crime subsides in the final stages

Despite strong shot totals, New York’s offense slowed toward the end of the 2025–26 season.

After losing star rookie Kristina Kaltunkova to a season-ending lower-body injury, Ciaran averaged 1.6 goals in her final nine games, scoring one or fewer goals in six of those contests. Saturday marked New York’s fifth shutout loss of the season after being shut out just once in 30 games last season.

Saturday followed a familiar script. The Sirens dictated the game in the first 40 minutes, but had nothing to show. The power play once again faltered and four chances went waste.

New York’s offense relied heavily on star forward Sarah Fillear and rookie center Casey O’Brien in the final month. Both performed well, but the Sirens’ thin attack proved difficult to sustain, especially against red-hot goaltenders like Regan Kirk, Gwyneth Phillips and Frankel.

The Sirens have outscored opponents in six of their last nine games, and Fargo often praised the offensive process, but this is a results-based business at the end of the day — and the results weren’t there when it mattered most.

Fargo ‘proud of growth’ from youth group

In training camp in November, the Sirens set their sights on the first postseason berth in franchise history. For the third consecutive season, that goal eluded them.

Fargo said after the game, “It’s definitely sad to miss the playoffs. We want to be there. That’s where we set our goals at the beginning of the year.” “But at the same time, you have to appreciate the growth of this group.”

New York was the youngest team ever in the PWHL this season. When the Sirens acquired Minnesota Frost forward Denisa Krisova in a trade in late March, the 31-year-old immediately became the team’s oldest player – and the only one over the age of 30.

The young man quickly became one of their greatest assets. Despite major changes in the offseason, a new-look Sirens team started 7–0–0–3. That pace eventually slowed, but the New York rookie continued to impress.

The first-round combination of Kaltunkova (No. 1 overall) and O’Brien (No. 3 overall) headlined a deep rookie class that paced the PWHL with 28 goals and 62 points. Kaltunkova scored 11 goals in 21 games before being placed on long-term injured reserve (LTIR), and O’Brien led all rookies with 22 points (seven goals, 15 assists).

Fourth-round pick Maddie Wheeler (No. 28 overall) made an immediate impact on New York’s top six with her physical 200-yard game, finishing fifth in team scoring with 10 points (three goals, seven assists). Second-round pick Anne Cherkovsky (No. 9 overall) wasn’t far behind with nine points (two goals, seven assists). Undrafted reserve defender Nicole Valario worked her way into a steady role in the Sirens’ defensive core, entering the third pairing following the departure of veteran blue-liner Jincy Rouse.

Fargo said, “We’ve got a young team with a young core. And I think we were able to take some positive steps this year.” “There are parts of our game that we really like. Obviously, we have to find ways to score.”

Outside of the rookies, second-year defender Maja Nylen Persson scored a career-high 11 points (two goals, nine assists) in 2025–26, and Petey Lewis reached double-digit scoring (10 points) for the first time in his three-year PWHL career.

“I’m really proud of the growth of this group, this organization,” Fargo said. “I think we’ve taken a lot of steps forward.”

Sirens coach addresses ‘untenable’ extension rumors

Unfortunately for New York, keeping that young core together could be quite a challenge.

The PWHL has not released specific details yet, but all signs point to another batch of expansion teams joining the league this offseason. If last offseason was any indication, another roster overhaul may be in store for the Sirens.

“It’s upsetting,” Fargo said of the uncertain offseason. “We feel really good about the group we have in the locker room. It’s been a challenge to build a team from day one.”

Under last offseason’s rules, teams were allowed to protect up to three players they had rights to. Once two players were taken to extensions, teams could add a fourth player to their protected list. It’s unclear whether this offseason will follow the same format, but anything remotely like that would result in a big loss for New York.

“I think if there’s a way to keep a good number of players and staff together in that room, we feel really good about what we’re building. It’s just a matter of whether we can keep it together for a long time,” Fargo continued. “We know there will likely be some bumps in the road, but we will do our best to try and adapt and put together the best group we can possibly have come next season.”

On top of the extension, the Sirens have 11 players set to become unrestricted free agents, including Kristin O’Neal, Taylor Girard and midseason additions Claire DeGeorge and Chrisova. General manager Pascal Daoust has his work cut out for him.

The Sirens needed six points in their final two games to have a chance to challenge Toronto and Ottawa charge for the No. 4 seed. They improved to 36 points (9-3-3-14) with their third overtime win of 2025-26, but the 40-point mark is now out of reach with one game remaining.

It was New York’s first road win since January 6, snapping an eight-game losing streak. The Sirens have the second-worst road points percentage at .214.

The Scepters remain in fifth place with 38 points (10-1-6-12), one point behind fourth-placed Charge. Ottawa can clinch a postseason berth with a regulation win over Boston Fleet on Wednesday.

“I think we showed a lot of confidence today, not even late in the game, but right from the drop of the puck,” Sirens captain Micah Zandi-Hart said after the game. “I think you saw the energy we came out with – we wanted to win. You look at the shot total, we were getting a lot of good chances. We didn’t get the ball going our way, but we had a lot of confidence right from the start.”

New York outshot Toronto 8–1 midway through the first period and opened the scoring at 14:29 when Maja Nylen Persson beat Kirk Blocker’s side with a point shot on the power play. The officials immediately dismissed this and ruled that Sarah Fillear had interfered with Kirk outside the crease.

The Sirens failed to convert four power plays, and when the Cubs broke into a 3-on-1 shorthanded rush against Osborn, they nearly surrendered their fourth jailbreak goal in three games.

With the third period still scoreless, Sirens coach Greg Fargo pulled Osborn at 18:40, but New York had only two shots on goal at 6-on-5.

Fargo said, “We knew going into the situation – if we were tied, we would have had to pull the goalie. We would have liked to get him out a little quicker.” “We had a hard time creating possession in the offensive zone there. It took us a while to get him out of the net, but I thought we did a pretty good job of getting him out.”

Toronto gained momentum from Maddie Wheeler’s tripping penalty at 11:11 of the third minute, leading to a forecheck that prevented New York from pulling its goalie with more time on the clock.

Even with their playoff hopes officially dashed, the intensity of the siren did not diminish in overtime.

“We wanted to win. We’re all competitors,” Fillier said after the game. “When there’s a chance to win the game, and it doesn’t matter what’s at stake, you want to win.”

Casey O’Brien collected the rebound from a field shot and fed the trailing Simpson, whose wrist shot went through Kirk’s five-hole. Fillier extended her points streak to three games and led all skaters with seven shots.

He refused to take solace in victory.

“Not really. We knew what was at stake. We knew we needed a regulation win,” Fillion said after the game. “It’s nice to be rewarded in overtime, but it’s too late for us.”

New York can accumulate draft points when it visits Boston Fleet on Saturday. However, the No. 1 overall pick is off the table after the Vancouver GoldenEyes defeated the Montreal Victoire 4-3 in regulation on Tuesday.

Key takeaways after Cubs dash Sirens’ playoff hopes in overtime

Ciaran regrets missed opportunities: ‘We had a lot of chances’

The Sirens couldn’t get ahead against Kirk in regulation, although they certainly had plenty of chances.

“We just needed a bounce to really get our way,” Fargo said. “From the moment the puck dropped, I liked our game. I thought we got a lot of the puck first. We established a good forecheck and really caught on to them right away. It was O-zone time. We had some opportunities.”

Denisa Krisova got free on a second-period breakaway but lost the puck in the final seconds. Later in the frame, Fillier nearly went in alone after picking off Sceptres defender Renata Fast at the blue line, but Fast quickly recovered and put away the chance. In the third, a turnover created a 2-on-0 for Fillier and Wheeler, but Kirk swept it aside.

Jaime Bourbonnais had a golden opportunity to give the Sirens a 1-0 lead when she found the open net on Anne Cherkovsky’s one-timer feed in the final seconds of her fourth power play. Instead, he misfired, sending the puck harmlessly into the corner.

“We had a lot of chances,” Philier lamented. “I had a lot of chances on my stick, just to finish something early. I thought we had a lot of good chances the whole game, and I think we deserved better.”

Toronto withstood a strong New York attack behind a stellar outing from Kirk in net.

“Our process tonight was really good,” Fargo insisted. “Definitely needed the bounce, but they also deserve some credit for keeping us off the board.”

Despite ‘disappointing finish’, New York excited to pursue 2025-26 campaign

The Sirens were in a playoff position by the end of March, but were unable to survive an inconsistent second half.

Unfortunately for New York, the lows outweighed the highs. The Sirens went 2-3-0-8 in 13 games after the Olympic break and struggled mightily on the road. Long-term injuries to top scorers Kristina Kaltunkova and Taylor Girard, as well as Osborne’s uneven play, contributed to a poor second half.

“It’s obviously disappointing,” said Zandi-Hart, nearing the end of her third season as New York’s captain. “This is not where we want to be.”

After a 2025 offseason that saw an influx of young talent, New York set its sights on making the playoffs. It fell short of that goal, although optimism remains in the locker room.

“This season, especially, we were a brand new team. We had a lot of new players. We had a lot of injuries. We had a lot of new players coming into the mix,” Zandi-Hart explained. “For me personally, it’s disappointing to not help the team reach the playoffs for the first time as captain, but I’m really proud of this specific team and what we were able to accomplish at the end of the season.”

The Sirens lost nine out of 10 games (1–0–2–7) from January 20 to March 28, but still managed to get back into playoff contention thanks to inspired play from Fillier. A 5-1 loss to the Charge on Saturday dealt a major blow to their playoff chances, but there was still a narrow path for New York to the postseason entering Tuesday’s game.

“We’re proud of our group,” Fillier said afterward. “We believed we were going to go into it – and we played like we believed.”

In theory, a promising rookie class led by Kaltunkova, O’Brien and Wheeler should generate optimism for the future. But an impending extension – the exact details are still unknown – could make it difficult for New York to mount a promising campaign.

Gold Plan Update: Sirens fighting for No. 2 overall pick

New York is officially out of the race for the No. 1 pick in the 2026 PWHL Draft, but there is still a lot to play for heading into the regular season finale against Boston.

University of Wisconsin star Caroline Harvey is considered the top prize this summer after leading all skaters in plus-minus at the 2026 Milan-Cortina Olympics. But with fellow Wisconsin defender Laila Edwards and University of Minnesota forward Abby Murphy also heading up a deep draft class, any top three selection could give the Sirens an instant star.

The No. 2 overall pick would theoretically give New York the choice of Edwards or Murphy — a particularly beneficial luxury for a team that desperately needs an elite playmaker on its backend. Of course, landing that pick won’t be easy.

To top it off – the Sirens may still get the #2 pick in the PWHL draft, but the odds are against them.

Seattle already has 1 draft point and 2 games left.

If you are a supporter of anarchy, here is my favorite scenario:
Seattle lost twice in OT and the Sirens won in regulation. Both… https://t.co/gieUYIIkJ3

– Lou Orlando (@SweetLouuuu) 22 April 2026

The Seattle Torrents are in second place in the Gold Plan standings with one draft point and two games remaining. The GoldenEyes are in first place with three points and locked up the tiebreaker over New York with a regulation win on Tuesday. The Cubs could also potentially be in the running if Wednesday falls out of the playoff race.

If Seattle goes higher than three draft points the Sirens will be out of the running for the No. 2 overall pick.

纽约队在第二节加大了强度，主教练格雷格·法戈的球队齐心协力，在对阵飞利浦队的比赛中大力射门，这让渥太华队非常不满。塞壬队凭借出色的身体素质最终导致六次点球和两次强力进攻。

相反，冲锋队获得了回报。

在莱斯利（Leslie）的控球罚球后，塞壬队取得了4对3的优势，詹纳（Jenner）再次带队冲球，并从奥斯本（Osborne）的右侧垫上射门。乔斯琳·拉罗克 (Jocelyne Larocque) 在 7 分 54 秒时接到长距离篮板球，然后在奥斯本 (Osborne) 恢复之前将球射入网内。

比赛中段 14 分 08 秒，即纽约队第四次强攻的第 37 秒，佩顿·汉普 (Peyton Hemp) 将比分改写为 3-1。凯西·奥布莱恩 (Casey O’Brien) 的传球慢慢回到警报区后，马贾·尼伦·佩尔森 (Maja Nylen Persson) 在汉普前检查的巨大压力下将冰球翻了过来。冲锋前锋亚历克斯·瓦斯科(Alexa Vasko)突破球门线，将球滑过折痕，汉普将球击入球网。

罗尼亚·萨沃莱宁在第三节比赛进行到3分15秒时增加了保险，一记远射愚弄了奥斯本。詹纳在 12 分 28 秒的比赛中发出了最后一击，埋没了拉罗克投篮的篮板。

在周六的三分出击后，詹纳以 23 分（11 球，12 助攻）排名全联盟第四。莱斯利的 13 个进球仅比明尼苏达弗罗斯特前锋凯利·潘内克 (Kelly Pannek) 少一球，位居 PWHL 榜首；她得到22分，与菲利尔和蒙特利尔胜利队前锋劳拉·史黛西并列第五。

纽约队连续第八场客场比赛失利（0-0-1-7），本赛季客场战绩跌至2-0-1-10。只有西雅图洪流队的客场得分百分比更差。塞壬队将在保德信中心球场再踢两场比赛，周二拜访多伦多权杖队，并于 4 月 25 日拜访波士顿舰队队，结束本赛季。

“我无法指出具体的事情，但我们并没有一直取得第一，尤其是在主场，”法戈赛后指出。 “在客场，当你落后的时候，你就会开始追赶比赛，然后就很难再追回来了。在主场，即使你没有率先得分，观众也能帮助你迅速改变势头。但当你追赶太多时，它就会追上你——比赛会变得更加艰难，事情就会开始对你不利。”

《Sirens》将背负者降为 Charge 后的关键要点

那你是说还有机会吗？

塞壬队还没有被淘汰出季后赛的争夺，尽管情况并不美好。

周六的失利让纽约队失去了对其季后赛命运的任何控制权。在剩余的赛程中只剩下 6 分，塞壬队需要大量的努力和大量的帮助来消除 PWHL 积分榜上 5 分的差距。

如果冲锋队在最后两场比赛中得分超过一分，纽约队将被淘汰出季后赛资格。渥太华将于周三拜访排名第二的舰队，然后于 4 月 25 日举办多伦多权杖赛。

排名第五的权杖队在还剩三场比赛的情况下积 34 分（9-1-5-12），也可能破灭纽约队的季后赛梦想。塞壬队需要多伦多队在 4 月 25 日击败渥太华队，但除此之外他们也支持权杖队输球。多伦多队周日将造访明尼苏达州，然后周二主场迎战纽约队，最后一场对阵冲锋队的比赛可能会决定谁能获得最终的季后赛席位。

这个复杂方程的最后一个部分——也许对纽约来说最困难的部分——是塞壬队必须在接下来的两场比赛中至少获得五分，才有希望挑战四号种子。

目前，海妖队在常规赛胜利中以微弱优势领先于冲锋队，如果两支球队打成平局，他们将获得季后赛席位。但纽约队需要连续两场客场胜利——对于一支自 1 月 6 日以来就没有在客场获胜的球队来说，这是一个很高的要求。

更疯狂的事情已经发生了，但胜算并不站在他们一边。

Sirens 凭借“chippy”游戏获得季后赛预告片

周六，季后赛的赌注显而易见，无论是在冰上还是在看台上，这都促成了季后赛的气氛。

渥太华队在这场充满身体对抗的比赛中打出 25 支安打。冲锋队对纽约队在飞利浦折痕附近的任何突破进行了处罚，导致了大量的终场后争吵，甚至对艾美·费克图和罗里·吉尔迪也进行了粗暴处罚。

TD Place 观众人数达到创纪录的 8,605 人，与整场比赛的强度相当。

“我认为你可以肯定地看到那里的竞争，而且肯定会变得激烈。但同样，这就是我们想要的，”塞壬候补队长海梅·波旁奈赛后说道。 “我们在将这项运动打造成真正的身体对抗方面做得很好，我认为这就是球迷希望看到的，希望我们能够继续下去。我认为球迷和气氛确实让参加这类比赛变得特别。”

这是季后赛的良好前兆，这种强度将成为常态——尽管纽约可能无法亲身体验。

塞壬的权力游戏再次陷入困境

周三，纽约队结束了20投0中的强力比赛荒，马贾·尼伦·佩尔森在第三节14分53秒对阵多伦多队的比赛中射入2-2扳平比分。法戈认为，这样一个有影响力的目标可能会引发业绩下滑的部门。

“你希望这样的事情能够让比赛继续下去，”法戈在常规赛以 3-2 勇敢获胜后说道。 “我认为在我们赛季的重要时刻打进这个进球，希望能够成为我们前进的基础。”

有一瞬间，情况似乎确实如此，李维斯的强力得分让纽约队早早领先。但在第二节，当渥太华队成为 PWHL 历史上第一支在同一场比赛中攻入多个进球的球队时，任何积极的势头都消失了。

塞壬队在过去两场比赛中丢掉了三个越狱进球，这对于已经在进攻端表现不佳的强队来说是一个污点。

这些类型的失误可能会在一场微弱的季后赛比赛中毁掉一个赛季。

New York increased the intensity in the second, as coach Greg Fargo’s team made a solid effort to press the net hard against the Phillies – much to Ottawa’s displeasure. A highly physical frame culminated in a total of six penalties and two power plays for the Sirens.

Instead, the one in charge received the reward.

With the Sirens on a 4-on-3 advantage after a holding penalty on Leslie, Jenner led another rush and sent a shot off Osborne’s right pad. Jocelyn Larocque collected a long rebound in the slot and put it into the net at 7:54 before Osborne could recover.

Peyton Hemp scored on New York’s fourth power play of the game, 37 seconds in, at 14:08 of the middle frame for a 3–1 lead. After Casey O’Brien’s pass came back into the siren zone, Maja Nylen Persson turned the puck over under heavy pressure from Hemp’s forecheck. Charging forward Alexa Wasko drove the goal line and delivered a pass across the crease which Hemp punched into the net.

Ronja Savolainen added insurance at 3:15 of the third period, fooling Osborne with a long shot from the point. Jenner delivered the final blow on the power play at 12:28, blocking the rebound of a Larocque shot.

Jenner ranks fourth league-wide in scoring with 23 points (11 goals, 12 assists) after a three-point outing on Saturday. Leslie’s 13 goals are one goal shy of Minnesota Frost forward Kelly Pannek for the PWHL lead; Her 22 points are tied with Fillier and Montreal Victoire forward Laura Stacey for fifth.

New York dropped its eighth consecutive road game (0-0-1-7) this season and fell to 2-0-1-10. Only the Seattle Torrent has the worst road point percentage. The Sirens conclude the season with two more games away from the Prudential Centre, visiting the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday and the Boston Fleet on April 25.

Fargo said after the game, “I can’t point my finger on any one specific thing, but we haven’t scored in a row, especially at home.” “On the road, when you fall behind, you start chasing the game, and it becomes harder to climb back. At home, even if you don’t score first, the crowd can help change momentum quickly. But when you’re chasing too often, it catches up to you – the matchups get tougher, and things start being stacked against you.”

Main findings after siren leaves backbreaker to charge

So you’re telling me there’s a chance?

The Sirens are not out of the playoff race yet, although the picture is not very good.

Saturday’s loss removed any control over New York’s playoff fate. With only six points available on their remaining schedule, the Sirens need a lot and a lot of help to get going in the right direction to erase the five-point deficit in the PWHL standings.

If the Charge scores more than one point in its final two games, New York will be eliminated from postseason contention. Ottawa visits second-place Fleetwood on Wednesday before hosting the Toronto Raptors on April 25.

The fifth-place Sceptres, on 34 points (9-1-5-12) with three games remaining, could also shatter New York’s playoff dreams. The Sirens need Toronto to beat Ottawa on April 25, but otherwise they are looking for a loss to the Sceptres. Toronto will visit Minnesota on Sunday before hosting New York on Tuesday, setting up a final showdown against the Charge that will likely decide who lands the final playoff spot.

The final piece of this complicated equation – and perhaps the toughest for New York – is that the Sirens must earn at least five points in the next two games to have any hope of challenging for the No. 4 seed.

The Sirens currently own the tiebreaker on charge with the slight edge in regulation wins, and will be granted a postseason nod if both teams finish the season tied. But New York will need two consecutive wins — a tall order for a team that hasn’t won on the road since Jan. 6.

Stranger things have happened, but the odds are not in their favor.

Sirens get playoff teaser with ‘Chippy’ game

The postseason stakes were palpable Saturday, and it contributed to the playoff atmosphere — both on the ice and in the stands.

Ottawa racked up 25 hits in a game marked by consistent physicality. The Charge penalized New York for any drives near Phillips’ crease, resulting in plenty of scuffles after the whistle and even similar harsh penalties to Aimee Fecteau and Rory Gilday.

The record-setting crowd of 8,605 at TD Place matched the intensity throughout the game.

“I think you can definitely see the rivalry there, and it’s definitely getting intense. But again, that’s what we want,” Sirens alternate captain Jaime Bourbonnais said after the game. “We’ve done a good job of making this game a really physical game, and I think that’s what the fans want to see, and hopefully we can continue to do that. I think the fans and the atmosphere are really what make these types of games special.”

It’s a good harbinger for the postseason, where that intensity will become the norm — though New York won’t be able to experience it firsthand.

Siren’s power play faltered again

New York ended an 0-20 power-play drought on Wednesday when Maja Nylen Persson scored a 2-2 equalizer against Toronto at 14:53 of the third period. Fargo believed that such an impressive target could spark a falling unit.

“You hope something like that can push it,” Fargo said after the 3-2 regulation win. “I think scoring that goal at a key moment in our season, hopefully, can be something we can build on.”

For a moment, it seemed that way, as Lewis’ power-play score gave New York an early lead. But any positive momentum was destroyed in the second period when Ottawa became the first team in PWHL history to score multiple shorthanded goals in a single game.

The Sirens have scored three jailbreak goals in their last two games – a black mark for a power play that was already struggling to produce offensive output.

These types of mistakes can end a season in a very short playoff race.

“I just saw she was going to shoot at an open net, so do everything you can at that point to hope the puck doesn’t go in,” Osborn explained. “At that time, it was a diving save and a diving effort, and it worked in my favor.”

Osborne came up big again in the third, separating from Renata Fast.

Fargo praised him after the game, saying, “I thought Kayleigh played a great game. She really held us in the first two periods.” “He did a great job of not only making saves, but controlling the game. Made some key saves on the end of the power play, several breakaways, a paddle save. I mean, without him, we’re not in that fight for very long.”

Toronto scored against Osborn at 14:03 of the second, just 40 seconds into New York’s second power play. Speed ​​snatched the puck from O’Brien and passed it to Daryl Watts, who raced down the ice and clipped the top shelf for the jailbreak goal.

Former Sirens defender Ella Shelton made it 2–0 at 8:51 of the third minute, moments after New York failed to convert another power play, a sharp-angle shot slipping past Osborne. Shelton ended a 19-game goal drought with his first goal since December 23 – the longest of his PWHL career.

Fargo considered a timeout, but held out, and the siren rewarded them 39 seconds later when Denisa Krisova scored her first goal since joining New York via trade on March 30. Krysova cleared a loose puck in the slot and fired a backhander past Sceptres goaltender Regan Kirk at 10:30, prompting an immediate reaction after Shelton’s potentially back-breaking score.

Nylen Person tied the score at 2–2 at 14:53 of the third following a delay-of-game penalty on Kirk, giving New York its fifth power play of the game. A Sirens defender intercepted a long rebound from O’Brien at the right circle and put it back into the net, ending New York’s 0-of-20 power-play drought.

“For me, every time I’m put on the ice, I want to make the most of it,” said Nylen Person, who scored the memorable shootout winner at Madison Square Garden against the Seattle Torrents on April 4.

O’Brien’s winner came at 16:03, when the 2025 No. 3 overall pick deflected a long shot past rookie defender Nicole Valario off a faceoff.

With the two-point outing on Wednesday, O’Brien became the second rookie in PWHL history to reach 20 points, joining linemate Sarah Fillier, who posted 29 points (13 goals, 16 assists) en route to Rookie of the Year honors last season. O’Brien’s 21 points (seven goals, 14 assists) matched Fillier for the team lead and tied for seventh leaguewide.

Sceptres coach Troy Ryan lamented his team’s third-round collapse.

Ryan said after the game, “I think we felt it in the room. It’s tough to lose.” “Just uncharacteristic decisions. You’re not going to win by making decisions like that at this time of year.”

For the second consecutive game at the Prudential Center, the New York Sirens came back scoring 3 unanswered goals.

The Sirens scored three unanswered goals for the second consecutive game at the Prudential Center, before a weekend-record crowd of 6,237 in the final home game of the regular season. The Prudential Center in New York averaged 4,015 fans this season, a 45 percent increase from 2024-25.

Key takeaways after Siren’s full comeback in decisive game against Toronto

Sirens maintain control of playoff destiny

With games at a premium, New York could not afford to leave the Prudential Center empty-handed against Toronto. The comeback win gives the Sirens control over their playoff destiny, but it also greatly impacts their next two games.

The Sirens will visit Ottawa on Saturday and Toronto next Tuesday before concluding the 2025-26 season in Boston against the Fleet on April 25. Regulation wins against the Charge and Scepters would be good for New York’s playoff hopes, but that’s easier said than done. The Sirens have not won three consecutive games since January 6.

If they are to overtake Ottawa and Toronto for the final playoff spot, the Sirens will need two more strong performances from Osborne, who entered the game with a 1–5–0 record and an .874 save percentage over his last six games.

“Personally, I don’t look at stats,” Osborne said after the game. “I don’t think it tells the whole story of any goaltender on any team. I don’t think it’s really a factor.”

Osborn didn’t play like a goalie burdened by her second-half struggles on Wednesday, but she’ll have to beat two red-hot goalies in Kirk and Ottawa’s Gwyneth Phillips. Even in the loss, Kirk blanked New York in the first 50:30 before allowing three tough goals in their first loss since March 8.

Ryan explained, “That’s how goals are scored – directing them to the net, getting the body there, getting the stick on it.” “I don’t think it’s some of the things we did poorly. I think [the Sirens] Deserves some credit for the actual completion of the goal.”

The Ottawa Charge earned a big 2-0 win over the Toronto Raptors with an empty netter. Ottawa moved into the final playoff spot by 2 points over Toronto with a regulation win.

Points will again be important in New York’s final meeting with the Charge on Saturday, especially with Ottawa holding a double-digit lead in the fourth. If Phillips’ 42-save shutout against Toronto last Saturday was any indication, those points won’t come easy.

There’s never an ideal time for your captain to miss a game, but Wednesday’s game against Toronto was about as unfair as it gets.

“We had to work really hard for this game tonight,” Fargo said. “The guys fought hard. The way our D-core stepped up and played – I think we showed a lot of resiliency tonight.”

Zandy-Hart’s one-game suspension snapped his streak of 75 consecutive games played – dating back to January 20, 2024 – and left New York with only six active defensemen against the Cubs. Fargo deployed primarily a five-defender rotation, as rookie Delle Ross logged just 3:36 in an extremely limited role on Wednesday.

Alison Simpson, Lauren Bernard, and Bourbonnais all moved into the top pairing with Nylen Person, a spot usually filled by Zandi-Hart.

“Such a good player and our captain,” Nylen Person said of Zandi-Hart. “But other players have to step up and get bigger roles, and I think everyone did a great job of that today. That’s what we need in this situation. I’m proud of our D-core.”

The Sirens’ blue line will be back at full strength Saturday against Ottawa, where Fargo believes Wednesday’s resiliency can lead to another strong effort.

“Getting Micah back and keeping that momentum going, I think it’s something we can build on.”

Sirens still need more from power play: ‘It has to be better’

New York’s power play came at a crucial time, when Nylen Person scored the equalizer with a laser from the right point. Still, that doesn’t erase all the upside from another long slide.

Fargo candidly admitted, “It was a source of frustration.” “As we know, it’s not clicking.”

At one point Wednesday, in a desperate search for a new look on the netfront, Fargo turned to 5-foot-11 rookie forward Kira Judikis — who was making her PWHL debut. It failed to deliver, and if the offensive stoppage wasn’t bad enough, New York’s top unit handed Watts a momentum-changing jailbreak goal.

The Sirens made the most of their fifth and final power play, thanks to the aggressive puck pursuit of Nylen Person, giving Fargo hopes of giving a boost to a sagging group.

“The goal we had tonight, the way it happened — just the significance of it and the timing of it — you hope something like this can carry it forward,” Fargo said. “We know our power play – if we’re going to push here – it better be. But I think scoring that goal at a key moment in our season, hopefully, can be something we can build on in these last three games.”

With their two top goal scorers in Kaltunkova and Girard sidelined, the Sirens cannot afford to miss golden scoring opportunities. They also can’t count on getting five power plays every game.

No deadline for Kaltunkova’s return

Kaltunkova became eligible to be activated from LTIR on Tuesday, but there is no sign the New York novice event is close to a return.

Fargo declined to give a timeline for Kaltunkova’s injury after the game, and the 2025 No. 1 overall pick has not resumed skating after being on the shelf with a lower-body injury.

The Czech native made a name for himself in the PWHL by scoring a league-leading 11 goals before the Olympic break. His scoring touch was greatly missed, especially after the side ruled Girard out for the remainder of the 2025–26 season with a knee injury.

It is highly unlikely that Kaltunkova will return before New York’s regular season finale against Boston on April 25, and her status for a potential postseason run is in question.

克里佐娃在不到一年的时间里第三次离开。在帮助弗罗斯特队在2024年和2025年两次获得沃尔特杯冠军后，她在2025年PWHL扩展选秀中以第12顺位被西雅图激流队选中。西雅图队在2025-26赛季开始前11月将她交易回明尼苏达队。

纽约队总经理帕斯卡尔·达乌斯特周一在一份球队声明中表示：“丹尼萨·克里佐娃的加盟让我们能够在重要时刻加强我们的进攻组。” “她带来了经验、冷静和领导力，以及一种非常适合我们与塞壬建立的身份的比赛风格。”

罗塞是纽约 2025 年休赛期唯一的自由球员，他于 6 月与塞壬队签署了一份为期一年的合同。 2024-25赛季，她在渥太华冲锋队的比赛中得到14分，在PWHL后卫中排名第五，在22场比赛中贡献了6次助攻和+1的得分。

海妖队将于周三在保德信中心球场举办弗罗斯特赛，罗伊斯和克里佐瓦将立即有机会与他们的前球队对决。

Sirens 将 Jincy Roese 交易到 Frost 换来 Denisa Křížová 后的主要收获

罗斯交易后，“健康的防守组”仍处于良好状态

塞壬队在蓝线上有深度，并且对前锋有明显的需求。从纸面上看，这种交换是有道理的。

达乌斯特解释说：“拥有一支健康的防守队伍，让我们能够灵活地提前解决因阵容受伤而产生的需求。”

塞壬队仍有六名现役后卫，另外还有两名替补球员，妮可·瓦拉里奥和奥利维亚·诺尔斯。鉴于最近的伤病情况，纽约需要在拥挤的季后赛中补强前锋阵容。

就罗斯而言，塞壬队可以与一位进攻型的底线后卫分道扬镳——尤其是一位在下半场均势表现有所放缓的球员。这位 28 岁的球员在 2026 年米兰-科尔蒂纳奥运会后的六场比赛中没有取得一分，成绩为负 4 分。

罗伊斯是一位有天赋的冰球移动手，但这位前美国奥运选手很难在纽约的两支强力球队中锁定一个稳定的角色，分别由马贾·尼伦·佩尔森和海梅·波旁内担任四分卫。她更适合需要加强后防线的明尼苏达队。

这一举动使得塞壬队的现役球员名单上只剩下两名左投后卫，但这不会彻底改变纽约队的阵容。波旁内已经与艾莉森·辛普森（Allyson Simpson）进行副手比赛，而左撇子劳伦·伯纳德（Lauren Bernard）预计将在第三对中滑向她的强侧。

克里佐瓦为前锋队伍增添了急需的帮助

塞壬队在进入 2025-26 赛季时拥有 13 名前锋，但这支球队在 3 月份受到了打击。吉拉德在受伤时以 7 个进球在所有 PWHL 滑冰运动员中排名前十，纽约队很难取代她的输出。新秀明星克里斯蒂娜·卡尔图恩科娃（整体排名第一）和凯西·奥布莱恩（整体排名第三）的受伤——两人各自缺席了两场比赛——只会让进攻下滑的问题变得更加复杂。

奥布莱恩于 3 月 25 日从上半身伤势中恢复，卡尔图文科娃也在日复一日的名单中，但纽约前九队的得分深度较浅，迫切需要另一名老将的出现，即使在 3 月 18 日签下前多伦多权杖队前锋克莱尔·德乔治之后也是如此。

克里佐瓦并不是联盟的最佳射手，他在职业生涯的 77 场 PWHL 比赛中攻入 8 个进球，得到 20 分。尽管如此，她的高机动性仍然适合塞壬队的体系，并且她为联盟最年轻的阵容带来了前六名的经验。 31 岁的克里佐瓦是纽约队名单上最年长的球员，也是唯一一位超过 30 岁的球员。

即使卡尔图文科娃回归，克里佐娃在纽约也将有一条清晰的道路进入六分钟中段。她本赛季的冰球运气不佳——3.2 的投篮命中率就是明证——但这位捷克人在 2024-25 赛季以 4 个进球和 9 分的成绩创下了职业生涯的最佳成绩，并在 2024 年沃尔特杯季后赛中打进了两个进球。

考虑到她的比赛风格，如果达乌斯特希望下赛季让克里佐娃回归，请不要感到惊讶。也就是说，如果她能在另一次扩张选秀中幸存下来。

增加戴尔·罗斯的角色？

塞伦斯队主教练格雷格·法戈在纽约队的最后两场比赛中很少使用新秀后卫戴尔·罗斯（总排名第25位）——两场比赛输给了西雅图激流队和蒙特利尔胜利队。周三，罗斯在 1-4 输给西雅图的比赛中滑出了赛季最低的 17 秒，而在周六 3-1 战胜维克多的比赛中，罗斯只滑出了赛季最低的 58 秒。

随着罗塞的离开，这种情况应该会改变。

罗斯于 2025 年 3 月接受了修复撕裂的 ACL 的手术后，以长期伤病预备队 (LTIR) 的身份开始了本赛季。不过，这位 22 岁的球员现在完全健康，并准备好迎接迄今为止最大的工作量。

新秀后卫妮可·瓦拉里奥在本赛季与纽约队的四场比赛中平均上场时间为 11 分 07 秒（ATOI）——远高于罗斯的平均时间 5 分 40 秒——但除非受伤，塞壬队将不得不裁掉或释放一名滑冰运动员，以将瓦拉里奥纳入现役名单。

这使得罗斯成为最有可能接替罗斯大部分时间的候选人（15:24 ATOI）。这位第四轮新秀是圣克劳德州立大学的一名熟练的盖帽手，拥有身体优势，自从 1 月 6 日塞壬队激活她以来，她已经参加了所有 13 场比赛。

联盟范围内的名单冻结将于 3 月 31 日生效，防止球队在现役或预备队名单之外添加球员。已经在组织内的玩家仍然有资格激活。

克里佐娃在不到一年的時間內第三次離開。在幫助弗羅斯特隊在2024年和2025年兩次獲得沃爾特杯冠軍後，她在2025年PWHL擴展選秀中以第12順位被西雅圖激流隊選中。西雅圖隊在2025-26賽季開始前11月將她交易回明尼蘇達隊。

紐約隊總經理帕斯卡爾·達烏斯特週一在一份球隊聲明中表示：“丹尼薩·克里佐娃的加盟讓我們能夠在重要時刻加強我們的進攻組。” “她帶來了經驗、冷靜和領導力，以及一種非常適合我們與塞壬建立的身份的比賽風格。”

羅塞是紐約 2025 年休賽期唯一的自由球員，他於 6 月與塞壬隊簽署了為期一年的合約。 2024-25賽季，她在渥太華衝鋒隊的比賽中得到14分，在PWHL後衛中排名第五，在22場比賽中貢獻了6次助攻和+1的得分。

海妖隊將於週三在保德信中心球場舉辦弗羅斯特賽，羅伊斯和克里佐瓦將立即有機會與他們的前球隊對決。

Sirens 將 Jincy Roese 交易到 Frost 換來 Denisa Křížová 後的主要收穫

羅斯交易後，「健康的防守組」仍處於良好狀態

塞壬隊在藍線上有深度，並且對前鋒有明顯的需求。從紙上看，這種交換是有道理的。

達烏斯特解釋說：“擁有一支健康的防守隊伍，讓我們能夠靈活地提前解決因陣容受傷而產生的需求。”

塞壬仍有六名現役後衛，另外還有兩名替補球員，妮可·瓦拉里奧和奧利維亞·諾爾斯。鑑於最近的傷病情況，紐約需要在擁擠的季後賽中補強前鋒陣容。

就羅斯而言，塞壬隊可以與一位進攻型的底線後衛分道揚鑣——尤其是一位在下半場均勢表現放緩的球員。這位 28 歲的球員在 2026 年米蘭-科爾蒂納奧運會後的六場比賽中沒有取得一分，成績為負 4 分。

羅伊斯是一位有天賦的冰球移動手，但這位前美國奧運選手很難在紐約的兩支強力球隊中鎖定一個穩定的角色，分別由馬賈·尼倫·佩爾森和海梅·波旁內擔任四分衛。她更適合需要加強後防線的明尼蘇達隊。

這一舉動使得塞壬隊的現役球員名單上只剩下兩名左投後衛，但這不會徹底改變紐約隊的陣容。波旁內已經與艾莉森·辛普森（Allyson Simpson）進行副手比賽，而左撇子勞倫·伯納德（Lauren Bernard）預計將在第三對中滑向她的強側。

克里佐瓦為前鋒隊伍增添了急需的幫助

塞壬隊在進入 2025-26 賽季時擁有 13 名前鋒，但這支球隊在 3 月受到了打擊。吉拉德在受傷時以 7 個進球在所有 PWHL 滑冰運動員中排名前十，紐約隊很難取代她的輸出。新秀明星克里斯蒂娜·卡爾圖恩科娃（整體排名第一）和凱西·奧布萊恩（整體排名第三）的受傷——兩人各自缺席了兩場比賽——只會讓進攻下滑的問題變得更加複雜。

奧布萊恩於 3 月 25 日從上半身傷勢中恢復，卡爾圖文科娃也在日復一日的名單中，但紐約前九隊的得分深度較淺，迫切需要另一名老將的出現，即使在 3 月 18 日簽下前多倫多權杖隊前鋒克萊爾·德喬治之後也是如此。

克里佐瓦並不是聯盟的最佳射手，他在職業生涯的 77 場 PWHL 比賽中攻入 8 球，得到 20 分。儘管如此，這位 31 歲的球員為聯盟最年輕的陣容帶來了前六名的經驗，她的高動力使她非常適合塞壬系統。

即使卡爾圖文科娃回歸，克里佐娃在紐約也將有一條清晰的道路進入六分鐘中段。她本賽季的冰球運氣不佳——3.2 的投籃命中率就是明證——但這位捷克人在 2024-25 賽季以 4 個進球和 9 分的成績創下了職業生涯的最佳成績，並在 2024 年沃爾特杯季後賽中打進了兩個進球。

考慮到她的比賽風格，如果達烏斯特希望下個賽季讓克里佐娃回歸，請不要感到驚訝。也就是說，如果她能在另一次擴張選秀中倖存下來。

增加戴爾羅斯的角色？

塞倫斯隊主教練格雷格·法戈在紐約隊的最後兩場比賽中很少使用新秀後衛戴爾·羅斯（總排名第25位）——兩場比賽輸給了西雅圖激流隊和蒙特利爾勝利隊。週三，羅斯在 1-4 輸給西雅圖的比賽中滑出了賽季最低的 17 秒，而在周六 3-1 戰勝維克多的比賽中，羅斯只滑出了賽季最低的 58 秒。

隨著羅塞的離開，這種情況應該會改變。

羅斯於 2025 年 3 月接受了修復撕裂的 ACL 的手術後，以長期傷病預備隊 (LTIR) 的身份開始了本賽季。不過，這位 22 歲的球員現在完全健康，並準備好迎接迄今為止最大的工作量。

新秀後衛妮可·瓦拉里奧在本賽季與紐約隊的四場比賽中平均上場時間為 11 分 07 秒（ATOI）——遠高於羅斯的平均時間 5 分 40 秒——但除非受傷，塞壬隊將不得不裁掉或釋放一名滑冰運動員，以將瓦拉里奧納入現役名單。

這使得羅斯成為最有可能接替羅斯大部分時間的候選人（15:24 ATOI）。這位第四輪新秀是聖克勞德州立大學的熟練的蓋帽手，擁​​有身體優勢，自從 1 月 6 日塞壬隊激活她以來，她已經參加了所有 13 場比賽。

聯盟範圍內的名單凍結將於 3 月 31 日生效，防止球隊在現役或預備隊名單之外添加球員。已經在組織內的玩家仍然有資格啟動。

Sirens goaltender Kayleigh Osborne suffered her fourth consecutive loss despite a strong start, stopping Montreal’s first 17 shots. In her league-leading 22nd appearance of the season she finished with 26 saves on 29 attempts.

New York kept things quiet for Osborne by outshooting Montreal 11–2 in the opening frame. Jade Downey-Landry recorded Montreal’s first shot at 1:58, but Victoire went 14:26 without another shot until Michigan native Shian Darkangelo ended the drought at 16:24.

The Sirens took the lead into the first half for the first time since March 8, thanks to Casey O’Brien’s sixth goal of the season. Jaime Bourbonnais’ one-timer went past Desbiens, and O’Brien crashed the net to bury the loose puck at 9:09.

O’Brien extended his point streak to three games. The 2025 No. 3 overall pick leads all PWHL rookies with 16 points (six goals, 10 assists).

Coach Greg Fargo offered after the game, “I thought today was a different story for us than the last few games.” “We got off to a great start. I thought our first period was as good as we’ve played.”

Montreal took the momentum in the second round by defeating New York 15–7. The Sirens maintained the lead thanks to the composed play of Osborne, who stopped Lena Ljungblom on a breakaway and denied Hayley Scamurra twice in a row. Desbiens was just as quick, stopping O’Brien on two breakaways.

New York nearly took a 2–0 lead at 7:54 when Kristin O’Neal deflected a point shot from Micah Zandi-Hart, but the officials ruled out a clear goal for high-sticking after review.

Victoire maintained its lead in the third period – only this time, it showed on the scoreboard.

Dubois took advantage of a miscue by Siren rookie Anna Bergman to equalize at 1:54. The 2025 fifth-round pick (No. 33 overall) sent a cross-ice pass straight to the stick of Victoire rookie Natalie Mlinkova, who quickly led the Montreal Rush and knocked the puck back to Dubois in the high slot. Bergman then collided with Siren forward Claire Degeroge as Dubois stretched it to the left point and fired a wrist shot over Osborne’s blocker.

Dubois gave Montreal its first lead of the day at 6:40 of the third minute, when a slick backhand feed from Darkangelo set up the 30-year-old for a one-touch shot through Osborne’s five-hole. Stacey immediately redirected defender Kati Tabin’s long shot to make it 3–1 at 7:29.

Victoire Fourcheque suppressed any possibility of the siren’s return. New York managed one shot after Montreal took the lead – a Sarah Fillear wrister at 19:47 broke a 14:06 shotless stretch.

“Momentum is a funny thing,” Fargo reflected. “You get a little bit, and I think Montreal started to get a little bit more as that second [period] Close, and they took it to third for good. Some mistakes hurt us.”

Sirens lost for the second time this season after scoring the first goal (6-0-0-2). New York’s points percentage dropped to .391, more than 50 percentage points below the fourth-place Sceptres (.449) and fifth-place Ottawa Charge (.455).

New York was without rookie star Kristina Kaltunkova, who missed her second consecutive game with an unspecified injury. The 2025 No. 1 overall pick is day by day.

Detroit native Elle Hartje joined Fillier and O’Brien in New York’s starting lineup in front of a crowd of 15,938 at Little Caesars Arena. He won four of six face-offs and recorded one shot on goal in 15:15 of ice time.

“It’s been great to be home. That’s a hard question to answer right now,” Hartje said after the game. “Obviously, it’s about hockey, so not getting the ‘W’ is pretty disappointing, but it’s great to see Hockeytown represented all the time.”

Victoire: The siren failed in the third period against the takeaways

New York flips the script on first period problems

The struggles of the Sirens’ first period are well documented. New York entered the opening frame on Saturday with the most goals scored (26) — an even greater increase from the minus-eight goal differential since the Olympic break.

They flipped the script against Victoire thanks to a strong forecheck and impressive play from their top forward line of Fillier, Anne Cherkovski and O’Brien.

“I don’t think we need to change anything,” O’Brien insisted during the first intermission.

This is easy to say but not easy to do. New York was outrebounded 27–13 in the final 40 minutes, having only six shots and three scoring chances in the third.

“Some parts of our game that we liked – the way we were handling the puck – as the game went on, we started to get away from it a little bit for one reason or another,” Fargo explained. “We have to find a way to match and exceed that effort moving forward.”

Despite strong offensive pressure out of the gate, the Sirens failed to finish second behind reigning PWHL Goalkeeper of the Year Desbiens. New York was clearly frustrated when Dubois tied the score in the third and offered little resistance in the face of a heavy Montreal forecheck.

“When we have a tough game or something that ends up in the back of your net, we’ve got to find a way to respond a little better in those moments, because bad things are going to happen,” Fargo said. “we know that.”

The sirens are still chasing ‘the full 60 minutes of hockey’

There are some serious issues in New York right now, but continuity is key.

O’Brien said after the game, “I don’t think we’ve played a full 60 minutes of Siren hockey in a long time.” “And we know that if we do that, we’ll win.”

Whether it’s a slow start or a late-game collapse, the end result has been all too familiar lately. And at this stage of the season, the Sirens cannot afford to leave points on the table.

“I think the important thing for us is to stay connected to our game on a more consistent basis,” Fargo said. “Playing a complete game with good habits, great structure and great energy – that’s what it takes to win at this level. You can see that the difference between winning and losing in the PWHL is really small.”

Even as the Sirens entered the Olympic break in a playoff spot, questions arose from time to time about their consistency, especially with such a young roster. Those concerns only grew with this second half’s decline.

Fargo added, “We have to put together 60 minutes of hockey with our habits and the details of our game.” “The team is working through it. They want to win. We all want to win, and it’s going to change for us. We just have to stay on track with what we’re doing.”

New York doesn’t have much time to right the ship.

Do you get déjà vu?

The Sirens lost six out of seven games after the Olympic break and nine out of 10 through January 20. If this vibe sounds oddly familiar, you’re not imagining things.

In 2024–25, the Sirens lost nine consecutive games (0-0-3-6) from January 31 to March 5. They finished the season last in the PWHL, missing the playoffs by seven points.

Last season, the New York Sirens lost 9 consecutive games from January 31 to March 5.

Some déjà vu this season. Since January 20, the Sirens have lost 9 out of 10 games. 4 points out of a playoff spot with only 7 games remaining. If they miss the playoffs again, you know where to look.

– Lou Orlando (@SweetLouuuu) 28 March 2026

This year’s team still has a chance to avoid that fate, but it will need a sharp turnaround to do so.

“Obviously, nobody likes to lose, so I’m not happy about it, but I don’t think anybody is disappointed,” O’Brien said. “We all know what a great team we have.”

If the Sirens look for a spark to break out of this slump, they will have to find it on home ice. New York returns to the Prudential Center on Wednesday to host the Minnesota Frost before Saturday’s matchup against the Seattle Torrent in front of a Madison Square Garden crowd.

低迷的西雅图队进攻取得了突破，在对阵海妖守门员凯尔·奥斯本的比赛中20次射门攻入4球。 Torrent 队以 22 分（6-1-2-13）排名垫底，但现在仅落后温哥华 Goldenyes 两分。

塞壬连续第三场比赛未能克服开局低迷的局面。西雅图队遭遇四连败（0-0-0-4），在此期间只进了两个球。仅在第一节，他们就超越了这一纪录，在对阵奥斯本的比赛中八次射门打入三球。

特蕾莎·沙夫扎尔（Theresa Schafzahl）——上周一从波士顿舰队交易来的前海妖队边锋杰西·埃尔德里奇（Jessie Eldridge）——在第一节比赛 10 分 33 秒首开纪录，她在网后摆动，以一记包抄将奥斯本击中左门柱。

沙夫扎尔在第 14 分 25 秒为她的账本再添一分，将冰球切入无人防守的网前，前科尔盖特大学球星丹妮尔·瑟达尼 (Danielle Serdachny) 在塞伦斯教练格雷格·法戈 (Greg Fargo) 的带领下完成了她本赛季的第四次进球。

凯拉·巴恩斯 (Cayla Barnes) 在 19:34 时将比分改写为 3-0，并在 18:33 击倒海妖队后卫海梅·波旁内 (Jaime Bourbonnais) 后，以井字游戏的形式在强力比赛中将比分改写为 3-0。这个进球标志着她在洪流中的第一个进球，也是本赛季的第三个进球。 2024-25赛季，巴恩斯作为新秀在蒙特利尔胜利队得到13分（2个进球，11次助攻）。

莎拉·菲利尔 (Sarah Fillier) 在第三节 5 分 48 秒时从奥布莱恩 (O’Brien) 的投篮中抢到篮板，打进了纽约队的唯一进球。菲利尔整个赛季首次在背靠背比赛中进球。她在前 17 场比赛中攻入 1 球后，在过去 4 场比赛中攻入 4 粒进球。

前塞壬队前锋亚历克斯·卡彭特 (Alex Carpenter) 在 9 分 48 秒锁定了 Torrent 队的胜利，他在冲刺中接到沙夫扎尔 (Schafzahl) 的传球，并用一记右点手腕将塞壬队后卫妮可·瓦拉里奥 (Nicole Vallario) 弹开，并在手套上方击败了奥斯本 (Osborne)。卡彭特本赛季打入九球，在 PWHL 中并列第五。

沙夫扎尔在对阵纽约队的比赛中拿下三分，这是她三年 PWHL 职业生涯中的第一场多分比赛。自从通过交易加盟西雅图以来，她在三场比赛中得到了四分（一球，四次助攻）。

塞尔达奇尼还打出了职业生涯的三分之夜，在此过程中超越了她的新秀得分输出。这位 24 岁的球员在 2024-25 赛季为渥太华冲锋队贡献 8 分（2 球，6 次助攻）后，本赛季在西雅图队打进 4 粒进球，得到 11 分。

奥布莱恩在重返赛场时送出了一次助攻。这位塞壬新秀在背靠背比赛中得分，并且在过去的七场比赛中拿到了六分。她以 15 分（5 个进球，10 个助攻）领先所有新秀得分。

Sirens 对阵西雅图队的比赛继续低迷，关键要点

启动缓慢

纽约最近的经济衰退有一个一贯的线索——起步缓慢。自冬奥会结束以来的六场比赛中，海妖队在第一节的净胜球数为负八分。他们在最后两局以 9-8 的比分战胜了对手，但事实证明，早期的落后付出了高昂的代价。

纽约队连续第二场比赛在开场就丢掉了三个球。即使对于这支坚韧的球队来说，争取一分（更不用说胜利）也是一项艰巨的任务。

“我认为我们已经被证明是一支伟大的球队。我们只需要抓住机会，在自家球门前更加努力地对抗，”三年级前锋佩廷·莱维斯赛后断言。 “我认为我们一开始就放弃了一些简单的目标，然后我们在剩下的比赛中奋起直追，这很困难。每场比赛都像这样踢很难。”

塞壬队最近在防守网锋方面的努力直接导致了两圈之间的进球。奥斯本在本赛季后半段看起来并不那么敏锐，这也无济于事。这位 23 岁的球员连续第三场比赛丢了 4 个球，她的扑救率为 0.906，在 PWHL 合格守门员中排名倒数第二。

“我们必须关注防守细节，”李维斯坚持道。 “而且我认为，归根结底，我们的比赛难度更大，所以球队不想和我们比赛。”

克莱尔·德乔治首次亮相《塞壬》

德乔治在对阵超音速队的比赛中打出赛季新高的 11 分 42 秒，在三线的凯拉·韦斯帕和安娜·巴格曼旁边担任左翼。这位26岁的球员上周三在泰勒·吉拉德因伤赛季报销后被纽约队签下，她在塞壬队首秀中打进一脚射门并被盖帽。

一旦卡尔图文科娃和惠勒重返阵容，德乔治不太可能继续担任三线角色，但这位阿拉斯加人在本赛季代表多伦多权杖队的 17 场比赛中场均仅 2 分 23 秒，准备增加冰上时间。

周三，艾美·费克图 (Emmy Fecteau) 和萨凡纳·诺克罗斯 (Savannah Norcross) 的上场时间均不足 10 分钟，尽管纽约队缺少两名前锋。即使塞壬队恢复了全部实力，德乔治也应该在倒数六名中发挥稳定的作用。

噢，你能带我回家吗？

塞壬们肯定可以使用一双红宝石拖鞋。这并不是说他们在自己的地盘上占据了统治地位——事实上，纽约队的主场 6 胜 0 平 2 平 4 负的战绩在联盟中排名第三。尽管如此，这比他们客场 2-0-1-7 的战绩有了很大的进步。

周三，塞壬队的客场困境进一步加剧，这是他们在保德信中心球场连续第五次失利（0-0-1-4）。对手在那段时间以 23-11 击败纽约队。他们上一次客场胜利是在 1 月 6 日，在可口可乐体育馆以 2-0 战胜多伦多队。

更糟糕的是，他们的日程安排并没有变得更轻松。纽约队以五场客场比赛结束了本赛季——是 PWHL 球队中最多的。其中包括周六在底特律与维多利亚队的比赛，以及四月份对明尼苏达州和波士顿的访问。

塞壬队已经面临着消除外卡赛中四分落后的艰巨任务。路上沉重的石板只会给他们的道路增添另一个障碍。

塞壬連續第三場比賽未能克服開局低迷的局面。西雅圖隊遭遇四連敗（0-0-0-4），在此期間只進了兩球。僅在第一節，他們就超越了這一紀錄，在對陣奧斯本的比賽中八次射門打入三球。

特蕾莎·沙夫扎爾（Theresa Schafzahl）——上週一從波士頓艦隊交易來的前海妖隊邊鋒傑西·埃爾德里奇（Jessie Eldridge）——在第一節比賽 10 分 33 秒首開紀錄，她在網後擺動，以一記包抄將奧斯擊中本左門柱。

沙夫扎爾在第 14 分 25 秒為她的賬本再添一分，將冰球切入無人防守的網前，前科爾蓋特大學球星丹妮爾·瑟達尼 (Danielle Serdachny) 在塞倫斯教練格雷格·法戈 (Greg Fargo) 的帶領下完成了她本賽季的第四次進球。

凱拉·巴恩斯 (Cayla Barnes) 在 19:34 時將比分改寫為 3-0，並在 18:33 擊倒海妖隊後衛海梅·波旁內 (Jaime Bourbonnais) 後，以井字遊戲的形式在強力比賽中將比分改寫為 3-0。這個進球標誌著她在洪流中的第一個進球，也是本賽季的第三個進球。 2024-25賽季，巴恩斯作為新秀在蒙特婁勝利隊得到13分（2個進球，11次助攻）。

莎拉·菲利爾 (Sarah Fillier) 在第三節 5 分 48 秒時從奧布萊恩 (O’Brien) 的投籃中搶到籃板，打進了紐約隊的唯一進球。菲利爾整個賽季首次在背靠背比賽中進球。她在前 17 場比賽中攻入 1 球後，在過去 4 場比賽中攻入 4 粒進球。

前塞壬隊前鋒亞歷克斯·卡彭特 (Alex Carpenter) 在 9 分 48 秒鎖定了 Torrent 隊的勝利，他在衝刺中接到沙夫扎爾 (Schafzahl) 的傳球，並用一記右點手腕將塞壬隊後衛上妮可·瓦拉里奧 (Nicole Vallario) 彈開，並在手套上方擊敗了奧斯本。卡彭特本賽季打進九球，在 PWHL 中並列第五。

沙夫扎爾在對陣紐約隊的比賽中拿下三分，這是她三年 PWHL 職業生涯中的第一場多分比賽。自從透過交易加盟西雅圖以來，她在三場比賽中得到了四分（一球，四次助攻）。

塞爾達奇尼還打出了職業生涯的三分之夜，在此過程中超越了她的新秀得分輸出。這位 24 歲的球員在 2024-25 賽季為渥太華衝鋒隊貢獻 8 分（2 球，6 次助攻）後，本賽季在西雅圖隊打進 4 粒進球，得到 11 分。

奧布萊恩在重返賽場時送出了一次助攻。這位塞壬新秀在背靠背比賽中得分，並且在過去的七場比賽中拿到了六分。她以 15 分（5 個進球，10 次助攻）領先所有新秀得分。

Sirens 對西雅圖隊的比賽繼續低迷，關鍵要點

啟動緩慢

紐約最近的經濟衰退有一個一貫的線索——起步緩慢。自冬奧結束以來的六場比賽中，海妖隊在第一節的淨勝球數為負八分。他們在最後兩局以 9-8 的比分戰勝了對手，但事實證明，早期的落後付出了高昂的代價。

紐約隊連續第二場比賽在開場就丟了三球。即使對於這支堅韌的球隊來說，爭取一分（更不用說勝利）也是一項艱鉅的任務。

「我認為我們已經被證明是一支偉大的球隊。我們只需要抓住機會，在自家球門前更加努力地對抗，」三年級前鋒佩廷·萊維斯賽後斷言。 “我認為我們一開始就放棄了一些簡單的目標，然後我們在剩下的比賽中奮起直追，這很困難。每場比賽都像這樣踢很難。”

塞壬隊最近在防守網鋒方面的努力直接導致了兩圈之間的進球。奧斯本在本賽季後半段看起來不那麼敏銳，這也無濟於事。這位 23 歲的球員連續第三場比賽丟了 4 球，她的撲救率為 0.906，在 PWHL 合格守門員中排名倒數第二。

「我們必須關注防守細節，」李維斯堅持道。 “而且我認為，歸根結底，我們的比賽難度更大，所以球隊不想和我們比賽。”

克萊爾·德喬治首次亮相《塞壬》

德喬治在對陣超音速隊的比賽中打出賽季新高的 11 分 42 秒，在三線的凱拉·韋斯帕和安娜·巴格曼旁邊擔任左翼。這位26歲的球員上週三在泰勒吉拉德因傷賽季報銷後被紐約隊簽下，她在塞壬隊首秀中打進一腳射門並被蓋帽。

一旦卡爾圖文科娃和惠勒重返陣容，德喬治不太可能繼續擔任三線角色，但這位阿拉斯加人在本賽季代表多倫多權杖隊的 17 場比賽中場均僅 2 分 23 秒，準備增加冰上時間。

週三，艾美·費克圖 (Emmy Fecteau) 和薩凡納·諾克羅斯 (Savannah Norcross) 的上場時間均不足 10 分鐘，儘管紐約隊缺少兩名前鋒。即使塞壬隊恢復了全部實力，德喬治也應該在倒數六名中發揮穩定的作用。

噢，你能帶我回家嗎？

塞壬們絕對可以使用一雙紅寶石拖鞋。這並不是說他們在自己的地盤上佔據了統治地位——事實上，紐約隊的主場 6 勝 0 平 2 平 4 負的戰績在聯盟中排名第三。儘管如此，這比他們客場 2-0-1-7 的戰績有了很大的進步。

週三，塞壬隊的客場困境進一步加劇，這是他們在保德信中心球場連續第五次失利（0-0-1-4）。對手在那段時間以 23-11 擊敗紐約隊。他們上一次客場勝利是在 1 月 6 日，在可口可樂體育館以 2-0 擊敗多倫多隊。

更糟的是，他們的日程安排並沒有變得更輕鬆。紐約隊以五場客場比賽結束了本賽季——是 PWHL 球隊中最多的。其中包括週六在底特律與維多利亞隊的比賽，以及四月份對明尼蘇達州和波士頓的訪問。

塞壬隊已經面臨著消除外卡賽中四分落後的艱鉅任務。路上沉重的石板只會為他們的道路增添另一個障礙物。

不到两分钟后，新秀前锋安娜·塞格迪(Anna Segedi)将温哥华的领先优势扩大了一倍。米歇尔·卡维宁 (Michelle Karvinen) 挖出了冰球，并将第三轮选秀权 (总排名第 22 号) 投进了圆圈之间，她击败了奥斯本 (Osborne)，打进了她职业生涯的第一个 PWHL 进球，并以 6 分 48 秒的比分得分。

仅仅 27 秒后，莎拉·菲利尔 (Sarah Fillier) 在 7 分 15 秒挡住了马贾·尼伦·佩尔森 (Maja Nylen Persson) 的对峙射门，将纽约队的落后优势缩小为 2-1。菲利尔在本赛季的第四场比赛中以 44 分（17 粒进球、27 次助攻）超越亚历克斯·卡彭特，成为纽约队历史得分王。

但温哥华在该帧的剩余时间内使冰面倾斜。首节比赛 16:00，Goldeneyes 后卫 Sophie Jaques 射出一脚远射，挡住了 Sirens 后卫 Lauren Bernard 的球门，将比分改写为 3-1。

开场 20 分钟，纽约队以 12-5 落后。温哥华的所有三项得分都在手套方面击败了奥斯本。

金眼队在第二节初期继续控制比赛，创造了几次冲刺机会，包括与莎拉·纳斯和伊兹·丹尼尔斯的二对一。奥斯本在中场停止了全部九次射门，以保持纽约队的攻击距离。

新秀前锋安娜·巴格曼 (Anna Bargman) 在 13 分 19 秒时将领先优势缩小到 3-2，她重定向了后卫妮可·瓦拉里奥 (Nicole Vallario) 的远射，后者从球队的预备名单中被激活，并于周三早上签下了 10 天的合同。周日，巴格曼刚刚打进两分，在多场比赛中打进第二个进球，为塞壬队的另一场比赛奠定了基础。

但塞壬队在第三节未能击败金眼队守门员克里斯汀·坎贝尔。坎贝尔以 24 次射门 22 次扑救结束了当晚的比赛，在最后一局中将 9 次扑救全部扑出。

比赛进行到 5 分 27 秒时，特蕾莎·瓦尼索瓦 (Tereza Vanišová) 的左环手腕突破了奥斯本 (Osborne) 的拦网，入网，温哥华队将领先优势扩大到 4-2。麦克马洪在比赛最后一分钟用空网完成了最后一击。

“我认为今晚我们在第二节的反应非常好，开始找到我们的比赛，并建立更多我们想要的比赛，”塞壬队教练格雷格·法戈赛后指出。 “所以我喜欢我们在第二阶段的回应，但只是迟迟无法提出我们需要的东西。我认为我们付出了很大的努力来推动，但我们无法及时得到我们需要的东西。”

本来就已经很糟糕的塞壬队——周三失去了明星新秀凯西·奥布莱恩（Casey O’Brien）（日常）和三年级前锋泰勒·吉拉德（Taylor Girard）（赛季报销）——在第三场比赛中面临着更多的伤病恐慌。克里斯蒂娜·卡尔图恩科娃（Kristyna Kaltounkova）在比赛中段吸收了雅克（Jaques）的重击后离开了冰面；她很快就回来了，并以 22 分 19 秒的冰场时间完赛。不久之后，瓦尼索瓦突破冲入纽约折痕，与奥斯本的左腿相撞。奥斯本的腿被钉在柱子上并笨拙地伸展，但她仍然留在比赛中。

第三节 15 分 35 秒，菲利尔代表明显激怒的塞壬队进行了报复，在面罩下方交叉检查了金眼队前锋艾比·博琳 (Abby Boreen)。菲利尔被罚两分钟交叉检查。

温哥华队本赛季首次进球，表现完美（5-0-0-0）。纽约队在首场失球时战绩为2-0-3-9。奥斯本连续第二场比赛丢了四个球。

后卫海梅·波旁奈 (Jaime Bourbonnais) 将连续得分纪录扩大到三场比赛，并打出了职业生涯最高的 8 支安打。塞壬队以 34-30 领先金眼队，创下赛季新高安打数。

周三，纽约队在克里斯汀·奥尼尔（16 胜 12 负）和卡尔图文科娃（16 胜 11 负）的带领下，赢得了 65.4% 的对决。最近引进的前锋克莱尔·德乔治在周三早上签署标准球员协议后没有着装。新秀后卫戴尔·罗斯 (Dayle Ross) 在对阵温哥华队的比赛中作为球队第 12 号前锋取得了 2 分 09 秒的成绩。

塞壬队惨败给黄金眼队后的主要收获

警笛在最后阶段“必须做得更好”

在纽约最近的低迷时期，缓慢的启动已成为一种令人不安的模式。周三，塞壬队再次提前给自己挖了一个坑，在前 16:00 就丢了三个球。

“如果我们想要不同的结果，我们就必须找到一种更好地开始游戏的方法。这是一个非常简单的秘诀，”法戈直言不讳地说。 “一旦我们能够找到自己的比赛方式，就会有很多值得喜欢的地方，但我们的开局一直在伤害我们，而且它以很多不同的方式表现出来。当我们找到自己的比赛方式时，我们就很棒了——但我们很早就发现了球队太多的进球。”

菲利尔的偏转进球为温哥华队的无情进攻提供了短暂的喘息机会，但纽约队在开局的大部分时间里都紧追不舍。

塞壬队在最后 40 分钟表现出了更好的战斗力，但防守失误始终存在。温哥华队创造了大量的奇人冲球和突破机会——考虑到所有因素，纽约队很幸运地以仅允许五个进球的成绩逃脱了比赛。

艾比·博琳（Abby Boreen）独自一人在网前获得了绝佳的机会。如果纽约能够卷土重来，金眼队将会因为一些错失的机会而失眠。

— 卢·奥兰多 (@SweetLouuuuu) 2026 年 3 月 19 日

“这很简单，”法戈解释道。 “它从赢得战斗的简单承诺开始。它从让冰球深入的承诺开始。当我们能够建立预检并让我们的比赛继续进行时，我们就可以开始建立一些动力，但不幸的是，我们一开始还没有准备好竞争，这就是区别。”

海妖们选择了一个糟糕的时机，在肮脏的冰面区域与承诺作斗争。常规赛还剩 9 场比赛，纽约队目前积 27 分 (8-0-3-10)，距离季后赛席位还有 4 分。他们在 PWHL 积分榜上更接近第七名的金眼队（24 分），而不是第四名的多伦多权杖队（31 分）。

“我们知道每场比赛的赌注。我们不能在没有拿到一分的情况下参加比赛，我们知道我们必须在这方面做得更好，”菲利尔断言。 “在赛季结束时，我们的处境并不理想，但我们知道我们必须向前推进。”

海妖有能力推动这一进程，但不稳定可能会导致他们的失败。

安娜·巴格曼在纽约的地位悄然上升

纽约最大的头条新闻之一就是它的新秀。首轮新秀卡尔图文科娃（总排名第一）和凯西·奥布莱恩（总排名第三）迅速跻身明星行列，而麦迪·惠勒（总排名第 27 名）和安妮·切尔科斯基（总排名第 9）在第一个月内就锁定了前六名的位置。

然而，巴格曼却躲在雷达之下。这位来自耶鲁大学的第五轮新秀（总第 33 名）尽管在 1 月 2 日战胜蒙特利尔维多利亚队的比赛中打进了职业生涯的第一个进球，但她在第四线的出场时间仍然有限。

伤病将巴格曼推入前九名，这位23岁的球员也获得了资本。巴格曼在过去两场比赛中拿下三分（两球一助攻），主要是在第三线滑冰。她在周日的 10:20 和周三的 11:39 都创下了职业生涯最高的冰上时间。

“我认为这只是我周围每个人的产物，”巴格曼赛后说道。 “努力坚持我的身份以及我的身份如何融入团队的身份。获得奖励固然很棒，但我认为从长远来看，只要团结在一起就会对团队有所帮助。”

巴格曼以四个进球在球队中并列第四。她的六分在塞壬新秀中排名第五。

菲利尔将名字刻进《塞壬》记录簿

菲利尔超越前队友亚历克斯·卡彭特，成为塞伦斯历史上得分最多的球员，为她已经具有历史意义的 PWHL 职业生涯再添一笔。

卡彭特在代表纽约队出战的 50 场比赛中攻入 19 球，拿下 43 分。菲利尔在同一时间段内达到了 44 分。

菲利尔本赛季以 15 分（4 个进球，11 次助攻）领先纽约队。她的得分并列联盟第十，助攻排名第三。

25 岁的菲利尔已经跻身 PWHL 顶级制作人行列。在 2024-25 年新秀赛季中，她以 29 分（13 粒进球、16 次助攻）与希拉里·奈特并列联盟第一。她以 0.88 的场均得分排名历史第二，仅落后于维多利亚队队长玛丽·菲利普·普林 (Marie-Philip Poulin)。

PWHL 历史上唯一一位场均得分高于 Sarah Fillier 的球员是 Marie Philip-Poulin。

1. 普林 — 69 GP, 66 PTS (0.96)
2. 菲利尔 — 50 GP, 44 PTS (0.88)
3. 海斯 — 68 GP, 57 PTS (0.84)

作为 PWHL 2025-26 接管巡回赛的一部分，菲利尔和塞壬队将于下周三回归，在芝加哥迎战西雅图洪流队。

不到兩分鐘後，新秀前鋒安娜·塞格迪(Anna Segedi)將溫哥華的領先優勢擴大了一倍。米歇爾·卡維寧 (Michelle Karvinen) 挖出了冰球，並將第三輪選秀權 (總排名第 22 號) 投進了圓圈之間，她擊敗了奧斯本 (Osborne)，打進了她職業生涯的第一個 PWHL 進球，並以 6 分 48 秒的比分得分。

僅僅 27 秒後，莎拉·菲利爾 (Sarah Fillier) 在 7 分 15 秒擋住了馬賈·尼倫·佩爾森 (Maja Nylen Persson) 的對峙射門，將紐約隊的落後優勢縮小為 2-1。菲利爾在本賽季的第四場比賽中以 44 分（17 粒進球、27 次助攻）超越亞歷克斯·卡彭特，成為紐約隊歷史得分王。

但溫哥華在該幀的剩餘時間內使冰面傾斜。首節比賽 16:00，Goldeneyes 後衛 Sophie Jaques 射出一腳遠射，擋住了 Sirens 後衛 Lauren Bernard 的球門，將比分改寫為 3-1。

開場 20 分鐘，紐約以 12-5 落後。溫哥華的所有三項得分都在手套方面擊敗了奧斯本。

金眼隊在第二節初期繼續控制比賽，創造了幾次衝刺機會，包括與莎拉·納斯和伊茲·丹尼爾斯的二對一。奧斯本在中場停止了全部九次射門，以保持紐約隊的攻擊距離。

新秀前鋒安娜·巴格曼 (Anna Bargman) 在 13 分 19 秒時將領先優勢縮小到 3-2，她重定向了後衛妮可·瓦拉里奧 (Nicole Vallario) 的遠射，後者從球隊的預備名單中被激活，並於週三早上簽下了 10 天的合約。週日，巴格曼剛剛打進兩分，在多場比賽中打進第二個進球，為塞壬隊的另一場比賽奠定了基礎。

但塞壬隊在第三節未能擊敗金眼隊守門員克里斯汀·坎貝爾。坎貝爾以 24 次射門 22 次撲救結束了當晚的比賽，在最後一局將 9 次撲救全部扑出。

比賽進行到 5 分 27 秒時，特蕾莎·瓦尼索瓦 (Tereza Vanišová) 的左環手腕突破了奧斯本 (Osborne) 的攔網，入網，溫哥華隊將領先優勢擴大到 4-2。麥克馬洪在比賽最後一分鐘用空網完成了最後一擊。

「我認為今晚我們在第二節的反應非常好，開始找到我們的比賽，並建立更多我們想要的比賽，」塞壬隊教練格雷格·法戈賽後指出。 “所以我喜歡我們在第二階段的回應，但只是遲遲無法提出我們需要的東西。我認為我們付出了很大的努力來推動，但我們無法及時得到我們需要的東西。”

本來就已經很糟糕的塞壬隊——週三失去了明星新秀凱西·奧布萊恩（Casey O’Brien）（日常）和三年級前鋒泰勒·吉拉德（Taylor Girard）（賽季報銷）——在第三場比賽中面臨著更多的傷病恐慌。克里斯蒂娜·卡爾圖恩科娃（Kristyna Kaltounkova）在比賽中段吸收了雅克（Jaques）的重擊後離開了冰面；她很快就回來了，並以 22 分 19 秒的冰場時間完賽。不久後，瓦尼索瓦突破衝入紐約摺痕，與奧斯本的左腿相撞。奧斯本的腿被釘在柱子上並笨拙地伸展，但她仍然留在比賽中。

第三節 15 分 35 秒，菲利爾代表明顯激怒的塞壬隊進行了報復，在面罩下方交叉檢查了金眼隊前鋒艾比·博琳 (Abby Boreen)。菲利爾被罰兩分鐘交叉檢查。

溫哥華隊本季首次進球，表現完美（5-0-0-0）。紐約隊在首場失球時戰績為2-0-3-9。奧斯本連續第二場比賽丟了四球。

後衛海梅·波旁奈 (Jaime Bourbonnais) 將連續得分紀錄擴大到三場比賽，並打出了職業生涯最高的 8 支安打。塞壬隊以 34-30 領先金眼隊，創下賽季新高安打數。

週三，紐約隊在克里斯汀·奧尼爾（16 勝 12 負）和卡爾圖文科娃（16 勝 11 負）的帶領下，贏得了 65.4% 的對決。最近引進的前鋒克萊爾·德喬治在周三早上簽署標準球員協議後沒有著裝。新秀後衛戴爾羅斯 (Dayle Ross) 在對陣溫哥華隊的比賽中作為球隊第 12 號前鋒取得了 2 分 09 秒的成績。

塞壬隊慘敗給黃金眼隊後的主要收穫

警笛在最後階段“必須做得更好”

在紐約最近的低迷時期，緩慢的啟動已成為一種令人不安的模式。週三，塞壬隊再次提前為自己挖了一個坑，在前 16 點就丟了三球。

「如果我們想要不同的結果，我們必須找到一種更好地開始遊戲的方法。這是一個非常簡單的秘訣，」法戈直言不諱地說。 「一旦我們能夠找到自己的比賽方式，就會有很多值得喜歡的地方，但我們的開局一直在傷害我們，而且它以很多不同的方式表現出來。當我們找到自己的比賽方式時，我們就很棒了——但我們很早就發現了球隊太多的進球。”

菲利爾的偏轉進球為溫哥華隊的無情進攻提供了短暫的喘息機會，但紐約隊在開局的大部分時間裡都緊追不捨。

塞壬隊在最後 40 分鐘錶現出了更好的戰鬥力，但防守失誤始終存在。溫哥華隊創造了大量的奇人衝球和突破機會——考慮到所有因素，紐約隊很幸運地以僅允許五個進球的成績逃脫了比賽。

艾比·博琳（Abby Boreen）獨自一人在網前獲得了絕佳的機會。如果紐約能夠捲土重來，金眼隊將會因為一些錯失的機會而失眠。

— 盧·奧蘭多 (@SweetLouuuuu) 2026 年 3 月 19 日

「這很簡單，」法戈解釋道。 「它從贏得戰鬥的簡單承諾開始。它從讓冰球深入的承諾開始。當我們能夠建立預檢並讓我們的比賽繼續進行時，我們就可以開始建立一些動力，但不幸的是，我們一開始還沒有準備好競爭，這就是區別。”

海妖們選擇了一個糟糕的時機，在骯髒的冰面區域與承諾作鬥爭。例行賽還剩 9 場比賽，紐約隊目前積 27 分 (8-0-3-10)，距離季後賽席位還有 4 分。他們在 PWHL 積分榜上更接近第七名的金眼隊（24 分），而不是第四名的多倫多權杖隊（31 分）。

「我們知道每場比賽的賭注。我們不能在沒有拿到一分的情況下參加比賽，我們知道我們必須在這方面做得更好，」菲利爾斷言。 “在賽季結束時，我們的處境並不理想，但我們知道我們必須向前推進。”

海妖有能力推動這一進程，但不穩定可能會導致他們的失敗。

安娜·巴格曼在紐約的地位悄悄上升

紐約最大的頭條新聞之一就是它的新秀。首輪新秀卡爾圖文科娃（總排名第一）和凱西·奧布萊恩（總排名第三）迅速躋身明星行列，而麥迪·惠勒（總排名第 27 名）和安妮·切爾科斯基（總排名第 9）在第一個月內就鎖定了前六名的位置。

然而，巴格曼卻躲在雷達之下。這位來自耶魯大學的第五輪新秀（總第 33 名）儘管在 1 月 2 日戰勝蒙特利爾維多利亞隊的比賽中打進了職業生涯的第一個進球，但她在第四線的出場時間仍然有限。

傷病將巴格曼推入前九名，這位23歲的球員也獲得了資本。巴格曼在過去兩場比賽中拿下三分（兩球一助攻），主要是在第三線滑冰。她在周日的 10:20 和周三的 11:39 都創下了職業生涯最高的冰上時間。

「我認為這只是我周圍每個人的產物，」巴格曼賽後說道。 “努力堅持我的身份以及我的身份如何融入團隊的身份。獲得獎勵固然很棒，但我認為從長遠來看，只要團結在一起就會對團隊有所幫助。”

巴格曼以四個進球在球隊中並列第四。她的六分在塞壬新秀中排名第五。

菲利爾將名字刻進《塞壬》記錄簿

菲利爾超越前隊友亞歷克斯·卡彭特，成為塞倫斯歷史上得分最多的球員，為她已經具有歷史意義的 PWHL 職業生涯再添一筆。

作為 PWHL 2025-26 接管巡迴賽的一部分，菲利爾和塞壬隊將於下週三回歸，在芝加哥迎戰西雅圖洪流隊。

盧·奧蘭多 (Lou Orlando) 是福特漢姆大學 (Fordham University) 的校友，他在那裡為紐約遊騎兵隊 (New York Rangers) 效力了三個賽季……更多關於盧·奧蘭多 (Lou Orlando) 的信息

With Girard sidelined and O’Brien’s status uncertain, DeGeorge has added much-needed depth to New York’s forward group. The Sirens have no forwards on their reserve roster, leaving them with only 12 active forwards. That includes O’Brien, who remains day-to-day after taking a heavy hit from Ottawa Charge forward Kateryna Mrazova on March 8.

DeGeorge was not added to the active roster. Instead, the Sirens signed reserve defender Nicole Valario to a 10-day standard player deal to fill the open spot. Barring another move, New York will field just 11 forwards on Wednesday against the Vancouver GoldenEyes with O’Brien unavailable.

DeGeorge played a limited role with the Sceptres this season, appearing in 17 games as a fourth-line winger or extra skater. His 2:23 average time on ice (ATOI) ranks second behind any PWHL skater with at least five games played in 2025–26. He scored a season-high 9:57 in Toronto’s 2-0 win over Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.

He saw a larger fourth-line role last season with the Montreal Victoire, averaging 8:32 in 26 games. With the 2024 Walter Cup champion Frost, DeGeorge averaged over 10 minutes per game in 23 regular season contests and 10 playoff games.

DeGeorge will never replace Girard’s scoring touch. The Alaska native has not recorded a point yet this season; He has no goals and three assists in 66 career PWHL games. But despite his limited offensive range, DeGeorge is a capable pro-level fourth-liner, with a tall 5-foot-11 frame and the ability to play center.

This gives the Sirens some insurance in their forward group and should not stop general manager Pascal Doust from adding another addition before the PWHL roster freeze on March 31.

Siren can detect SDHL player pool

DeGeorge helps the Sirens’ bottom six, but the move does little to fill the offensive void left by Girard’s injury. If Doust wants to add a more impactful scoring threat, he may have to look abroad.

The Swedish Women’s Hockey League (SDHL) – widely considered the top professional women’s league in Europe – features several former PWHL skaters who will be eligible to sign immediately. As the SDHL playoffs continue, PWHL free agents from eliminated teams become potential targets.

Lulia lost in the semi-finals on Monday. Its roster includes a handful of PWHL talent – ​​most notably former Charge forward Akane Shiga. Shiga scored two goals in 23 games with Ottawa in 2024 and finished seventh in the SDHL with 38 points (12 goals, 26 points) this season.

If SDE is removed before the roster freeze there may be some other interesting names available. SDE trails Frölunda 2-1 in the best-of-five semifinal series, with Game 4 scheduled for Wednesday.

SDE’s roster includes former Victoire forward Gabrielle David and former Sceptres forward Samantha Cogan. David is second in the SDHL in scoring with 42 points (19 goals, 23 assists); He tallied two goals and six points in 26 PWHL games, most recently appearing in 2024–25. Kogan is fifth in the SDHL with 39 points (16 goals, 23 assists) after scoring two goals with Toronto in 2024.

It’s unlikely that any of the above will match Girard’s scoring pace, but true needle-movers are hard to find on the open market at the end of the season. If Doust wants to take the Flyer further, SDHL may be his best option.

Adding a player would require the Sirens to remove someone from their active roster. New York is currently using two of its three reserved roster spots.

Do the Sirens have enough aggression for a playoff push?

In all likelihood, the Lions will need to replace Girard’s scoring inside. Whether they have the scoring depth to do that is another question.

New York’s rookies have largely powered an offense that ranks fifth in the entire league in goals per game. Kaltounkova has a share of the PWHL lead in goals; Overall, first-year skaters scored 23 of New York’s 47 goals.

Star forward Sarah Fillear hasn’t enjoyed the same puck luck in 2025-26 after scoring 13 goals and 29 points in a stellar rookie campaign last season. With 10 games left in the regular season, Fillioner has three goals and a 4.7 shooting percentage.

Girard helped lead the Impact forward from 2024-25, joining Alex Carpenter, AB Roque and Jesse Aldridge – all of whom landed on different teams in the 2025 offseason. But with Girard’s season-ending injury and a banged-up O’Brien, New York is lacking some offensive punch, especially at the bottom of the lineup.

Without increased production from players like Patin Lewis, Kristin O’Neal and Fillioner, New York may find it difficult to keep up with Ottawa’s dangerous attack and surging Sceptres team.

But while Fillier and O’Neill had all but solidified their roster spots after appearing in every game of the 2025 Rivalry Series against the United States, Osborne’s footing was far less secure ahead of the January announcement.

Reigning PWHL Goaltender of the Year Ann-Renée Desbiens and Vancouver Goldeneyes starter Emerance Maschmeyer head Team Canada’s goalie room. The IIHF requires each Olympic team to carry three goaltenders, leaving Osborne to fight with the University of Minnesota Duluth’s Eve Gascon for the final spot.

Gascon drew the start in the first of four Rivalry Series games on Nov. 6, allowing four goals on 22 shots. Osborne followed two days later, making 27 saves on 32 shots in a 6-1 USA win. Team Canada chose Osborne over Gascon for the final two Rivalry Series games in December, but she did not appear in either contest, taking a back seat to Desbiens and Maschmeyer.

Yet Osborne’s trip to Edmonton alongside Desbiens and Maschmeyer was no guarantee of an Olympic roster spot.

Already a two-time finalist for National Goaltender of the Year in just two NCAA seasons, Gascon is well-positioned to succeed Desbiens as Team Canada’s goalie of the future in tournaments to come. No one would have blinked if general manager Gina Kingsbury opted for the 22-year-old college junior over the 23-year-old Osborne, a fifth-round draft pick from 2024.

That’s not to discredit Osborne’s brilliance in 2025-26. In fact, she’s been one of the top up-and-comers in the PWHL this season.

The Sirens are the only team in the League that hasn’t used a backup goalie. That’s largely a testament to Osborne’s steadiness in net, quickly embracing the starting reins after playing just 10 games as a rookie backup to Corinne Schroeder in 2024-25.

“Coming into the year, she wasn’t one of the returning, established starting goalies in the league,” Sirens coach Greg Fargo remarked this week. “But to me, in a short amount of time, she’s proven that she’s amongst the best.”

Osborne made her League-leading 11th start Tuesday and looked no worse for wear. The second-year goalie recorded her third shutout of the season in a 2-0 win over the Toronto Sceptres, making 31 saves en route to her sixth win of the season (6-0-0-5). Her 1.93 goals against average and .930 save percentage both rank fifth among PWHL goalies in 2025-26.

She’s been particularly instrumental in New York’s franchise-record four-game winning streak, sporting a 2.00 GAA and .956 save percentage with two shutouts across her last four games.

Evidently, she did enough to earn a nomination to Team Canada. Osborne and O’Neill will make their Olympic debuts this February–although O’Neill has represented Canada in the IIHF Women’s World Championships since 2021.

Fillier will make her second Olympic appearance after helping Canada capture gold in 2022 at the Beijing Games, where she ranked second with eight goals.

Sirens captain Micah Zandee-Hart cut from Team Canada final roster

New York defender Micah Zandee-Hart wasn’t as fortunate as her teammates. The Sirens captain was among the final cuts despite representing Canada at the 2022 Olympics. Zandee-Hart appeared in all seven games for Team Canada at Beijing, tallying four assists with a plus-six rating.

The 28-year-old has logged top-pair minutes for New York this season, providing a steady presence on the backend.

“I’m a little biased because I’ve played with Micah for a long time, but I think she’s phenomenal,” alternate captain Jaime Bourbonnais said Thursday. “She’s an incredible leader, incredible player. She works so hard. I think this season, she’s really proved how steady she is every time she’s on the ice. I just feel confident that nothing bad is gonna happen, and I think she really deserves it.”

Despite Bourbonnais’ shining endorsement, Kingsbury opted for a different look on the blue line. Ottawa Charge defenders Kati Tabin and Jocelyne Larocque rounded out a seven-player defensive corps headlined by two PWHL Defenders of the Year, Renata Fast and Erin Ambrose.

Team Canada aims to repeat as gold medalists after a successful 2022 tournament. Their five gold medals are the most of any nation since the IOC added women’s hockey to the Winter Games in 1998.

Olympic play begins Feb. 5 in Milan-Cortina.
