The Toronto Sceptres have a chance to move into the PWHL’s final playoff spot with a win tonight as they take on the New York Sirens on TSN.
Watch the Sceptres take on the Sirens LIVE at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT on TSN3/5 and streaming on TSN.ca and the TSN App.
Toronto sits two points back of the fourth-place Ottawa Charge as the Montreal Victoire, Boston Fleet and Minnesota Frost have already locked up three of the four playoff spots available. The Seattle Torrent is the only team that’s been eliminated, with the Sirens three points back of Toronto and the Vancouver Goldeneyes still alive at six points behind the Charge. The Sceptres and Sirens both have four games remaining.
Toronto is coming off a 2-0 loss on Saturday to the Charge as Gwyneth Philips stood tall for Ottawa with a 42-save shutout while Brianne Jenner and Sarah Wozniewicz scored in the third period.
The Sceptres have struggled to find consistency all season long. They’ve strung together consecutive wins just twice this season and have scored the fewest goals in the PWHL with 47.
Captain Blayre Turnbull is one of the few Sceptres to improve on last year’s totals as she has nine goals and 16 points in 26 games.
The Sirens also remain within shouting distance of the final playoff spot, well ahead of their performance in the previous two years when they finished in last place.
New York is also coming off a loss heading into tonight’s matchup, after dropping a 4-1 contest to the Frost on Saturday.
Prior to the Olympic break, Sarah Fillier was mired in a sophomore slump offensively with just one goal in 15 games before heading to Milano Cortina 2026.
Since returning, Fillier has eight goals and 10 points in 10 games and is back in the top 10 in points.
This season, the Sceptres and Sirens have faced off twice, with Toronto taking the first contest 4-3 on Dec. 21 before New York took the 2-0 win on Jan. 6.

Boston’s Aerin Frankel continues to be one of the best goaltenders in the PWHL, sitting second to the Victoire’s Ann-Renée Desbiens in both save percentage (.954) and goals-against average (1.16) as Fleet have allowed the second-fewest goals this season with 38.
Offence is the name of the game for Minnesota as Kelly Pannek (29), Taylor Heise (27), Britta Curl-Salemme (26) and Grace Zumwinkle (21) are the PWHL’s top four scorers, with Pannek leading the league in goals with 12 while Curl-Salemme and Heise tied atop the assists category with 16.
Head-to-head this season, the Fleet have the 2-1 edge, winning the most recent meeting 4-2 on Mar. 29.
