In Toronto, Daryl Watts shone as she scored twice to guide the Toronto Sceptres to a 2-1 triumph against the New York Sirens on Wednesday evening. Kristen Campbell was stellar in goal, making 27 saves for Toronto, who have now won two of their last three games. The Sceptres currently hold third place in the PWHL standings with six games remaining, trailing Boston by just one point following Boston’s shootout win over Montreal. New York’s Alex Carpenter found the back of the net, but Toronto’s strong defense limited them to one goal, with Corinne Schroeder making 27 saves for the Sirens. While Toronto led the league in power-play goals and efficiency, they struggled on the power play in this game, going 0 for 3, while New York was also unsuccessful on their five power-play opportunities. Toronto’s physical play and missed scoring chances kept New York at bay, despite New York’s late offensive push. Watts broke a five-game goal drought with her standout performance, securing victory for Toronto. Toronto’s next game is against Montreal, while New York will face Ottawa on Saturday. ___ For more AP women’s hockey coverage: https://apnews.com/hub/womens-hockey
