Victoire, Sceptres Trade Willoughby for Kjellbin Ahead of Deadline

In a notable trade just before the PWHL trade deadline, the Montreal Victoire acquired forward Kaitlin Willoughby from the Toronto Sceptres in exchange for defender Anna Kjellbin. Both players have had limited impacts on their teams this season, with Willoughby recording no points in 20 games and Kjellbin notching one assist in 18 games. Montreal's general manager, Danièle Sauvageau, expressed satisfaction with the deal, stating it adds depth to both rosters. The Victoire currently leads the league with 44 points, while the Sceptres sit in second place with 36 points. This trade is particularly interesting as it involves teams at the top of the standings making positional swaps rather than pursuing high-profile players. Both teams have expressed gratitude towards the departing players while looking forward to the contributions of their new acquisitions.
