Nicole Gosling scores in OT, Victoire clinch home-ice advantage for Round 1 -
The Montreal Victoire added another chapter to their remarkable season on Friday night, defeating the Boston Fleet 3–2 in overtime in front of a sold-out crowd. Montreal became the first team in PWHL history to reach 60 points in a single regular season, further solidifying their position atop the league standings. The win also extended their points streak to 16 games, a stretch that includes 14 victories and just two overtime losses. It was also their seventh straight win, and second straight win over the second-place Fleet. The hero of the night was Nicole Gosling, who scored on a power play just 38 seconds into overtime to seal the win. Earlier in the game, Jade Downie-Landry and Kaitlin Willoughby found the back of the net for the Victoire, putting them up 2–0.

Where the Montreal Canadiens rank heading into the playoffs -
The Montreal Canadiens secured their playoff spot relatively early this season after needing a win in the final game in 2024-25 to punch their ticket. They separated themselves from the wild-card pack during an eight-game winning streak, and were tied for top spot in the Atlantic Division as late as April 12. Despite going into the post-season playing on the road as a divisional third seed, the Canadiens ended up sixth overall in the league standings. Five of the top nine clubs were from the Atlantic, turning it into the most competitive division after the Central Division had been granted that title for much of the season. The 106 points tell a story of a team that took a significant step from a season ago when they finished with 91. We’ll dive deeper into their play to see where they rank in other areas as they prepare for their opening playoff game on Sunday. 7th Hits A team with two of its top three players being the 5
