NEWARK, NJ (January 2, 2026) – The New York Sirens stretched their winning streak to three games with a 4–3 victory over the Montréal Victoire on Friday afternoon at Prudential Center, backstopped by Kayle Osborne’s 42 saves. Victoire forward Laura Stacey opened the scoring at 3:47 of the first period, but New York answered late in the frame when Anna Bargman tied the game with 3:44 remaining, spinning and firing from the slot for her first PWHL goal. The Sirens took their first lead at 3:46 of the second period when Kristin O’Neill scored against her former club, converting in the slot after a turnover behind the Montréal net. The Victoire responded three minutes later on the power play, as Marie-Philip Poulin hammered home a one-timer following crisp perimeter passing from Erin Ambrose and Abby Roque. First overall pick Kristýna Kaltounková restored New York’s lead later in the second, slipping free from coverage and burying a cross-ice feed for her team-leading fifth goal of the season. Midway through the third, Paetyn Levis extended the Sirens’ advantage to two when she finished a Sarah Fillier pass on the rush. Montréal appeared to answer on a net-front deflection by Poulin, but the goal was waved off after video review for a high stick. Despite outshooting New York 45–21, the Victoire struggled to solve Osborne until the final minute, when Natálie Mlýnková tipped an Abby Roque point shot with the extra attacker to cut the deficit to one. With the victory, New York moved into a tie for second in the league standings. Sandra Abstreiter made 17 saves for the Victoire, who dropped their third consecutive game in regulation.
