LAVAL, QC (December 7, 2025) – The Montréal Victoire skated to a 3-1 win over the Toronto Sceptres on Sunday afternoon before a crowd of 8,113 at Place Bell in the first of three games this month between the Canadian rivals. Kati Tabin scored Montréal’s first goal in an opening frame this season when the defender found the back of the net at 8:38. Hayley Scamurra added to the Victoire lead at almost the same point of the middle frame, scoring against her former team at 8:36. The Sceptres cut the deficit in half when rookie Emma Gentry sniped her first career goal at 1:36 of the third period. Laura Stacey scored on the power play at 5:41 to cap the offense. Toronto had its opportunities in the final frame with a lengthy 5-on-3 power play when Montréal took three minor penalties in a span of 90 seconds. Ann-Renée Desbiens stood tall between-the-pipes with 21 saves to earn her second straight win in three season starts. Raygan Kirk took the loss in her third start of the season, stopping 27 shots for the Sceptres. The teams will meet again following the international break when they launch the PWHL Takeover Tour on Dec. 17 in Halifax. They’ll return to Montréal’s Bell Centre 10 days later for a holiday tilt on Dec. 27.
