Poulin scores winner, PWHL Montreal beats New York 3-2 for first win at home
LAVAL, Que. — Captain Marie-Philip Poulin scored the game-winning goal as Montreal edged New York 3-2 for its first win on home ice in Professional Women’s Hockey League action Tuesday night at Place Bell.
Poulin received a pinpoint pass from Maureen Murphy on the backhand and tipped home her fourth of the season at 13:46 of the third period as the crowd erupted.
The 32-year-old from Beauceville, Que., appeared to score the game-winner three nights before in Montreal’s home opener, only to have the goal called back in an eventual 3-2 overtime loss to Boston.
Gabrielle David and Leah Lum also scored for Montreal (3-1-1). Murphy had two assists and Tereza Vanisova pitched in with her team-leading fifth helper of the season. Ann-Renee Desbiens made 30 saves.
