Venue: Pacific Coliseum, Vancouver, British Columbia
TV/Streaming: Prime Video (Canada); PWHL YouTube Channel / thepwhl.com (international); radio/stream options via team apps
Series: Second meeting of the 2025-26 season between the PWHL’s expansion rivals (first of two remaining regular-season clashes; return game April 18 in Seattle).
Team Records & Recent Form
Seattle Torrent (8th in PWHL, 26 points): The Torrent sit at the bottom of the standings with a 7-1-3-15 record. They are 2-4-1-3 in their last 10 games and have been outscored by a wide margin lately (offense averaging under 2.0 goals per game in recent stretches). Road woes continue, with poor defensive structure and goaltending inconsistency plaguing the club. Seattle has lost three of its last four overall.
Vancouver Goldeneyes (7th in PWHL, 27 points): Vancouver holds a slight edge in the standings at 7-1-4-14. They are 3-3-1-4 in their last 10 but have shown better home form (stronger defensive play at Pacific Coliseum). The Goldeneyes have been competitive in most outings but remain streaky offensively and are still searching for consistent secondary scoring.
Injury Report
Seattle Torrent (significant forward depth losses):
Hannah Bilka (F) — LTIR (upper-body injury from Olympics; out for remainder of season).
Hilary Knight (F, captain) — LTIR (MCL tear from Olympics; no return timetable).
Mikyla Grant-Mentis (F) — recently activated from LTIR (expected available).
Other minor/maintenance issues possible but not reported as game-time decisions.
Vancouver Goldeneyes (defensive concerns lingering):
Claire Thompson (D) — questionable (post-Olympic injury; status uncertain as of early April — missed recent games).
Sarah Nurse (F) — recently activated from LTIR (expected available and a key contributor).
No other major absences confirmed, but the Goldeneyes have dealt with Olympic-related fatigue and minor knocks across the blue line.
Both expansion clubs continue to feel the ripple effects of the Olympic break injuries.
Probable Goalies & Key Player Matchups
Seattle Torrent: Corinne Schroeder (or rotation counterpart)
Schroeder has been the primary netminder and ranks among league leaders in saves in select outings, but the Torrent defense has struggled to limit high-danger chances on the road.
Vancouver Goldeneyes: Emerance Maschmeyer (projected)
Maschmeyer has been stellar at home this season (multiple games with 30+ saves and sub-2.00 GAA stretches). She was instrumental in earlier wins vs. Seattle.Key Position Player Matchups/Notes (based on season trends):
Vancouver threats: Sarah Nurse (playmaking and net-front presence, especially if fully healthy), Izzy Daniel (recent game-winners and physical edge), Michelle Karvinen (defensive reliability with offensive upside).
Seattle threats: Remaining forward corps led by activated Mikyla Grant-Mentis and any contributions from Jada Habisch (recent call-up). The Torrent rely heavily on speed and transition but have been held in check by Vancouver’s structure in prior meetings.
Overall edge: Vancouver’s home goaltending and defensive cohesion give them the nod, while Seattle’s depleted forward group limits counter-attack potential.
Series History
The Pacific Northwest rivalry is young but intense. Vancouver leads the all-time series 2-0:
Nov. 21, 2025 (inaugural game at Pacific Coliseum): Goldeneyes 4-3 OT win.
Jan. 25, 2026 (Takeover Tour in Denver): Goldeneyes 3-1 win.
Vancouver has controlled the pace and capitalized on special teams/special situations in both contests. No regulation wins for Seattle yet in the rivalry.
Betting Trends
Vancouver is strong as home favorites in rivalry games; unders have hit in 3 of the last 4 meetings between these clubs. Seattle is 1-5-1 as a road underdog this season, while Vancouver has covered the puck line in recent home wins. Low-scoring affairs are common when Maschmeyer is in net at Pacific Coliseum.
