Behind a string of stellar performances, PWHL standouts Marie-Philip Poulin (Montréal), Corinne Schroeder (New York), and Sidney Morin (Boston) emerged as Monday’s Stars of the Week.
After scoring two goals — including the superhero-style game-winner — in Wednesday’s sold-out Takeover Tour win, Victoire captain Poulin registered an assist in front a record-breaking Denver crowd on Sunday to claim a three-point week.
Saturday belonged to Fleet defender Morin, who recorded a career-high five shots and notched both goals in Boston’s 2-1 overtime win over Ottawa, doubling her single-goal scoring record last season.
The puck stops with Sirens goalie Corinne Schroeder
Sirens goaltender Schroeder made PWHL history on Sunday, becoming the first-ever goalie to record back-to-back regular-season shutouts.
New York’s 1-0 victory over Toronto also made a mark, becoming the PWHL’s first-ever scoreless game in regulation before New York’s Jessie Eldridge found the back of the net in overtime.
Schroeder, who tops the league in average goals against (1.86) while sharing the lead in wins (5) and save percentage (0.935), hasn’t conceded a goal in over 156 minutes of play.
“I think Schroeder has been our number one goalie for a long time,” said Sirens coach Greg Fargo after the game. “She’s been demonstrating the level of her play since day one, but there’s a calmness to her game and a competitiveness that we really like right now.”https://www.instagram.com/p/DExpHbbyW5o/embed/captioned/?cr=1&v=14&wp=1080&rd=https%3A%2F%2Fjustwomenssports.com&rp=%2Freads%2Fpwhl-stars-poulin-schroeder-morin-emerge-how-to-watch-pro-womens-hock%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A282.3999999910593%2C%22ls%22%3A159.29999999701977%2C%22le%22%3A159.29999999701977%7D
