Montreal has a third of 1:34, while Ottawa has 24 seconds. Neither powerful game produces a good look to end the game.
When O'Neill went to the first game of the playoffs, Victoire opened with a score of 2:25 with 2:25.
The pass bent from the side panels, which eventually led O'Neill to beat O'Neill's defense against the puck. She then crossed her backhand over Phillips. This is Montreal's first shot.
Montreal doubled its lead until the second phase when Laura Stacey entered the area from Wilgren's pass and fired a shot on Philips' mat.
Less than a minute later, Ottawa hopes to cut the lead. The hockey crossed the goal line in the front, but the phone after official review ruled the goalkeeper to intervene. The allegations challenged the phone, but have been confirmed to provide power to Montreal. Rebecca Leslie was beaten to cross the line with a shot.

The charge has the best chance during the penalty period. Katerina Mrazova hurriedly hit the post, with Emily Clark shooting from the slot machine rescued by Desbiens. It also brought some momentum to Ottawa. Of the 11 goals in the second phase, 10 were after Stacey's goal.
They finally beat Desbiens 4:34 with 4:34 left in the third stage. Brianne Jenner's faceoff victory brought the hockey to Tejralova. Her views pass the traffic rate 2-1.
Jenner's tie-up goal was when Tereza Vanisova was on the goal line on the left of Desbiens and opened the breath pass. The hockey hit Ottawa forward Clark, then Jenner shot a trainer into the open end of the net.
Now, the series moves to Ottawa in the next two games. Game 3 is scheduled to be held Tuesday night at TD Place.
