Ottawa Charge Defeats Boston Fleet 2-1, Secures Playoff Spot

Tereza Vanišová led the Ottawa Charge to a dramatic 2-1 victory over the Boston Fleet, scoring two goals within 32 seconds late in the third period. This win moved Ottawa into the fourth and final playoff spot in the PWHL, with four games remaining in the regular season. The Charge initially trailed after Boston's Susanna Tapani scored in the first period, but Vanišová equalized and then scored the game-winner on a power play after a successful video review. Ottawa's Gwenyth Philips recorded 27 saves, showcasing strong goaltending alongside Boston's Aerin Frankel. This victory marked Ottawa's first win against Boston this season after four losses. The two teams will meet again on Wednesday for another critical matchup in the playoff race.
