This is a key Eastern Conference battle as the Fleet look to protect their slim lead atop the standings while the Sirens try to climb back into the top-four playoff mix at home.
Injury Report
Boston Fleet: No major injuries or absences reported. The roster is effectively at full strength post-Olympic break, with all key contributors (including Alina Müller, Aerin Frankel in net, and defensive core) available after the Feb. 28 shootout win.
New York Sirens: No new injuries listed. The team returned from the Olympic break relatively healthy, though goaltending depth was tested in the Feb. 26 loss (Kayle Osborne / Callie Shanahan split duties). Full roster expected.
Recent Form (Last 5–6 Games)
Fleet: 4-1-1 (strong post-break form)
- Feb 28 @ Ottawa: W 3-2 SO (Müller & Newhook regulation goals; Brandt shootout winner; Frankel 23 saves).
- Pre-break: Consistent winners with excellent special teams and goaltending. Averaging ~2.5 goals scored / 1.7 allowed lately.
Sirens: 2-3-1 (rough start to second half)
- Feb 26 vs. Montréal: L 1-4 (only goal from Casey O’Brien; outshot but poor finishing).
- Pre-break: Mixed results with flashes of offense but defensive lapses. Scoring has dried up (averaging under 2.0 goals in recent losses).
Key Player Matchups
- Alina Müller / Abby Newhook / Hannah Brandt (BOS) vs. Sirens’ defense — Müller (team leader in points/assists) and Newhook exploit speed and power-play chances against a NY blue line that has been leaky.
- Kristýna Kaltounková / Sarah Fillier / Casey O’Brien (NY) vs. Boston’s shutdown pairs & Aerin Frankel — Kaltounková (league-leading ~11–12 goals) is the Sirens’ primary threat; Fillier leads in assists. Boston’s Frankel (elite save %) and structured defense have contained top scorers all season.
- Goaltending: Aerin Frankel (BOS – top-tier) vs. Kayle Osborne / Callie Shanahan tandem (NY – solid but inconsistent). Edge clearly to Boston.
- Special Teams: Fleet rank among league leaders on PP/PK; Sirens have been average-to-below at home.
Series History (2025-26 Season)
- Boston leads the season series 2-0.
- Jan 28 @ Boston (Lowell): Fleet 4-3 SO win (Müller shootout heroics).
- Dec 17 @ New York: Fleet 2-0 shutout win.
- Recent trend: Low-scoring, tight games with Boston finding ways to win (often late or in extras). The Fleet have outscored the Sirens 6-3 across the two meetings.
