Raygan Kirk makes 33 saves, earns first PWHL shutout as the Sceptres stop
Torrent 2-0
TORONTO (AP) --- Raygan Kirk stopped 33 shots for her first PWHL shutout as the
Toronto Sceptres beat the Seattle Torrent 2-0 on Sunday.
Blayre Turnbull scored four minutes in on a 2-on-1 rush and Sara Hjalmarsson
added an empty-net goal with 7.8 seconds remaining.
Kirk was at her best in the second half of the second period when Seattle
(5-1-2-11) hemmed the Sceptres (7-1-5-8) in their own end. She made nine saves
during this stretch. It was the seventh time this season Kirk made 30 or more
stops.
The Sceptres (3-0-2-0) have earned points in each of their five outings since
the Olympic break.
The Torrent outshot Toronto 33-25. Seattle's Hannah Murphy made 24 saves, 11 in
the final 20 minutes.
Daryl Watts did not suit up for Toronto. The Canadian Olympian has been unable
to shake a lingering flu bug since returning from the Winter Games three weeks
ago.
United States captain Hilary Knight (knee) and Olympic teammate Hannah Bilka
(upper-body) did not play.
The Sceptres increased their goal total to 41 in 21 games. Only the expansion
Torrent (40 in 19 games) and Vancouver Goldeneyes (35 in 19) have scored fewer
times.
