The Ottawa Charge (3-4-0-6) face the New York Sirens (7-0-1-5) in a PWHL matchup between two teams trending in opposite directions. The Charge, sitting near the bottom of the standings with 13 points, have struggled with consistency, allowing 3.5 goals per game while relying on depth scoring from players like Reece Hunt. The Sirens, tied for first with 22 points, are on a hot streak with four straight regulation wins and boast one of the league’s top offenses (3.85 goals per game), led by Sarah Fillier’s playmaking. Injuries could play a role, with Ottawa missing key defensemen and New York without a top forward.
