TORONTO — Ottawa’s PWHL team acquired forward Tereza Vanisova from Montreal in exchange for defender Amanda Boulier in the new league’s lone trade-deadline transaction Monday.

Vanisova scored twice and had eight assists in 17 games with Montreal before she was sent to Ottawa.

The 28-year-old Czech was drafted in the seventh round by Montreal in September and had signed a two-year contract.

Vanisova will represent Czechia at the women’s world championship April 3-14 in Utica, N.Y., for the seventh time in her career.

Ottawa’s PWHL head coach Carla MacLeod is also Czechia’s coach, and has navigated that team to back-to-back bronze medals.

The 30-year-old ranked third in production among Ottawa’s defenders with a goal and five assists in 17 games.

Boulier played six seasons with the defunct Premier Hockey Federation and was a two-time Isobel Cup champion. She shared the 2022 title with Vanisova when they were Boston Pride teammates.
