Two expansion-era teams battling for positioning in the crowded lower half of the standings. Seattle is on a lengthy road trip after a brief home win streak, while Toronto returns home after a mixed post-Olympic stretch and looks to capitalize on home-ice advantage. Both clubs have struggled defensively (combined 110+ goals against), setting up potential for a higher-scoring affair than the league average.
Recent Form (Last 5 Games)
Seattle Torrent (2-3-0-0 in last 5, mixed results with one big upset):
- Mar 13 @ MIN: L 1-4
- Mar 11 vs BOS: W 3-2 (late comeback, snapped Boston’s streak)
- Mar 4 @ OTT: L 3-4
- Feb 27 vs TOR: L 2-5
- Earlier Jan/Feb mix of SO wins and regulation losses
Offense has shown flashes (two late goals vs Boston), but road defense remains leaky.
Toronto Sceptres (2-1-1-1 in last 5, streaky post-break):
- Mar 8 vs MIN: L 2-3 OT
- Mar 3 @ MTL: L 3-4 SO
- Mar 1 vs VAN: W 2-1
- Feb 27 @ SEA: W 5-2
- Jan 28 vs MTL: L 0-3
Toronto has earned points in 3 of last 5 but has been inconsistent in extra time and against top teams.
Series History (2025-26 Season)
The teams have split three meetings this year with high-event games:
- Feb 27, 2026 – TOR 5-2 SEA (Toronto road win at Climate Pledge Arena; record U.S. attendance)
- Jan 20, 2026 – SEA 6-4 TOR (high-scoring Seattle home win)
- Jan 3, 2026 – SEA 3-2 SO TOR (Seattle shootout win on takeover tour)
Seattle leads the season series 2-1, but Toronto took the most recent matchup convincingly. Expect physical play and special-teams opportunities.
Injury Report
Seattle Torrent
- C Hilary Knight (captain) – LTIR, lower-body injury (sustained during Olympic break; out indefinitely).
- F Hannah Bilka – LTIR (placed recently; long-term).

Key Player Matchups
- Goaltending: Hannah Murphy / Carly Jackson (SEA) vs. Raygan Kirk (TOR). Kirk has been sharp in recent wins (29/31 saves in Feb vs Seattle); Seattle’s tandem has been inconsistent on the road.
- Top-Line Forwards: Toronto’s Daryl Watts (7G-8A-15P, team leader) & Jesse Compher vs. Seattle’s depleted group led by Danielle Serdachny, Natalie Snodgrass, and Mikyla Grant-Mentis (recent heroics vs Boston). Watts has 5 points in the season series.
- Defense/Special Teams: Toronto’s Renata Fast & Kali Flanagan (strong recent scoring) vs. Seattle’s Aneta Tejralová & Megan Carter. Both teams sit near the bottom in GA; power-play opportunities could decide it (Toronto opportunistic at home).
- X-Factor: Seattle’s road fatigue after cross-country travel vs. Toronto’s rested home crowd and captain Blayre Turnbull’s leadership.
Betting Trends
- High-scoring head-to-head: All three prior meetings exceeded 4.5 total goals (5-2, 6-4, 3-2 SO). Both teams rank near the bottom in GA league-wide.
- Home favorites bounce back: Toronto is strong at Coca-Cola Coliseum after recent OT/SO losses; Seattle is 1-6-1-1 on the road this season.
- Road underdogs in PWHL: Seattle has covered +1.5 in several recent road games despite losses.
- Post-Olympic trends: Extra-time games common after the break; Toronto is 1-2 in OT/SO lately while Seattle has one SO win.
