NEWARK, NJ (February 26, 2026) —The Montréal Victoire extended their winning streak to four games and moved into a tie for first place in the standings, with Ann-Renée Desbiens making 34 saves in a 4-1 win over the New York Sirens at Prudential Center on Thursday night. In the PWHL’s first post-Olympics game, Montréal jumped out to a fast start, scoring three goals in the first 10:07 — on three of their first four shots. Dara Greig struck first for the Victoire, notching her second goal of the season just 5:00 into the first period. Jade Downie-Landry followed 47 seconds later to give Montréal an early 2-0 lead, and rookie Skylar Irving added an unassisted marker less than five minutes later, giving the visitors a 3-0 advantage. The Sirens, who outshot Montréal 10-5 in the first period, got on the board at 5:57 of the second period when rookie Casey O’Brien scored on the power play, her fifth goal of the season, cutting the lead to 3-1. Montréal regained their three-goal advantage early in the third when forward Lina Ljungblom scored her first of the season — and second point of the night — just 3:43 into the frame with a power play marker. Laura Stacey collected the primary assist on the goal, her second of the game, and became the eighth player in league history to reach 50 career points. Despite being outshot 35-22, Montréal held on behind Desbiens’ tenth win of the season. Sirens goaltender Kayle Osborne allowed three goals on six shots — rookie Callie Shanahan came in and stopped 15 of 16 in relief. The Victoire share first place with the Boston Fleet, who have two games in hand, while New York has lost four in a row and remain in fourth place.
