Marie-Philip Poulin's no-look pass set up the overtime winner in Game 2, showcasing her clutch skill and leadership as the Montreal Victoire lead the Walter Cup final 2-0.

In a tightly contested Walter Cup Finals opener, the Montréal Victoire rallied past the Ottawa Charge, with Abby Roque scoring the decisive goal in overtime. The Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) now looks ahead to Game 2 in Montreal.

The Montreal Victoire overcame the Minnesota Frost in a five‑game semifinal that featured hat tricks, ejections, triple‑overtime drama and a sudden illness postponement, securing their first ever finals appearance against the Ottawa Charge.

A postponed playoff game between the Minnesota Frost and Montreal Victoire has raised health concerns, but officials say the symptoms are not linked to hantavirus. The league is working with medical personnel to determine a safe reschedule, a move that could reshape the championship timeline.
