Toronto Sceptres extend unbeaten streak with 2-0 shutout over Seattle Torrent
The Toronto Sceptres secured a 2-0 victory over the Seattle Torrent in a tightly contested match. Goalkeeper Raygan Kirk delivered a standout performance, earning her first career shutout in the Professional Women's Hockey League. The win extended Toronto's unbeaten streak since the Olympic break.
The Sceptres took an early lead when Blayre Turnbull found the net for the opening goal. Seattle pushed hard to equalise, outshooting Toronto 33-25, but Kirk stood firm with 33 saves to preserve the clean sheet.
Both teams were missing key players due to injury and illness. Seattle played without Hilary Knight and Hannah Bilka, while Toronto's Daryl Watts sat out with a lingering flu. The Sceptres sealed the win late when Sara Hjalmarsson scored into an empty net.
Toronto has now earned points in all five games since the Olympic break. Across 21 matches this season, they have tallied 41 goals. Their next challenge comes on Tuesday, when they travel to face the Boston Fleet.
The victory keeps Toronto's momentum strong as they head into their upcoming fixture. Kirk's shutout and the team's disciplined defence proved decisive against a Seattle side that struggled without its injured stars. The Sceptres will look to carry this form into their match against Boston.
