Stacey nets OT winner to lift PWHL-leading Victoire to 3-2 victory over Fleet

Aerin Frankel made 27 saves in a losing effort.

The Victoire welcomed forward Catherine Dubois back to the lineup. The Quebec City native had missed Montreal’s last four games with an upper-body injury suffered on Feb. 2 against New York.

TAKEAWAYS

Victoire: Montreal won for the second straight game despite trailing. The Victoire have seven come-from-behind wins this season.

Fleet: Boston failed to convert on its four power-play opportunities. The Fleet have scored at a 16.1 per cent clip with the advantage, second-worst in the league.

KEY MOMENT

It took the Victoire one shift and all of 36 seconds to get on the scoreboard in the first period. Tabin accepted a feed from Jennifer Gardiner before firing a point shot that made its way through traffic past Frankel to give Montreal the early lead.

KEY STAT

Tabin’s goal 36 seconds in was the fastest goal to start a game in franchise history. It came almost two minutes quicker than Montreal’s previous best, Dubois’s goal at 2:33 of the first period in a game against the Minnesota Frost on Jan. 12.

UP NEXT

Victoire: Host the Minnesota Frost on Tuesday.

Fleet: Host the New York Sirens on Wednesday.
