Huber's goal, Frankel's late heroics in net lead Fleet 1-0 over Sirens
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) --- Ella Huber scored the lone goal, and Aerin Frankel saved
23 shots to lead the Boston Fleet to a 1-0 win over the New York Sirens on
Thursday.
Huber's goal was unassisted as she beat Kayle Osborne to the puck with 3:45
left in the first period. It came off a bad turnover in front of the net from
Sarah Fillier, the PWHL's second-leading assist distributor.
Frankel was particularly important down the stretch, as the Sirens pulled
Osborne. Frankel had a key save against Anne Chernowski with 4:07 remaining,
and saved four shots inside the final four minutes, including a kick save with
about two minutes to go, and a low save against Fillier with 1:04 remaining.
It was Frankel's fourth shutout, tied for the league lead.
The Fleet (12-2-2) secured their 10th straight win over the Sirens (7-7-4), the
longest winning streak in PWHL history, and their fifth-straight win. They
moved into a tie for first place at 35 points with the Montral Victoire, with
two matches in hand.
The league's leading goalscorer, Kristyna Kaltounkov, was put in the penalty
box after retaliating against Jill Saunier for a hit against Micah Zandee-Hart.
Up next The Fleet remains on the road, facing the Vancouver Goldeneyes on Tuesday. The Sirens will host the Ottawa Charge on Sunday.
