Roster Rundown
Boston PWHL's lineup shines with the presence of forward Emily Clarkson, who’s racked up an impressive 35 points this season. Her knack for finding the back of the net is unmatched, making her a key player to watch. Alongside her, defenseman Sarah McIntyre has been a rock on the blue line, leading the team with 45 blocked shots. Then there’s center Mia Thompson, known for her face-off prowess, winning 60% of her draws. However, they’ll miss the speed of winger Jenna Lin, currently sidelined with a lower-body injury. The absence of goaltender Ashley Reid, due to a wrist injury, could leave them vulnerable in net.
Ottawa Lady Senators boast a formidable roster too. Forward Kayla Donovan leads the charge with 40 points, her quick release a constant threat. Veteran defenseman Lisa Tran has been solid, contributing 25 assists this season. Forward Jamie Hughes, with a powerful slapper, adds depth to their offensive game. But they’ve got their own challenges, missing defenseman Emma Yates due to a concussion, and forward Natalie Zhao, out with an upper-body injury, both crucial to their defensive strategy.
Head-to-Head
The teams' history tells a tale of dominance by
Boston PWHL, who’ve taken seven of their last ten encounters with
Ottawa Lady Senators. Their previous battle ended in a narrow 3-2 victory for Boston on March 20, 2025. That game showcased Boston's resilience in tight matchups.
Recent Form
Boston PWHL’s last five games have been a mixed bag. They dropped a 1-2 decision to Ottawa Charge, then fell 2-4 to Toronto Sceptres. A close 3-2 win over Montreal Victoire followed, only to bounce back strongly with a 5-2 triumph over Ottawa Charge, before slipping 2-3 against Montreal PWHL.
Ottawa Lady Senators, meanwhile, have shown some spark. They secured a 2-1 win against Boston Fleet but stumbled with a 3-6 loss to New York Sirens. A 5-2 win in the return fixture against the Sirens boosted morale, yet they faltered with a 2-5 loss to Boston Fleet. They rebounded with a 3-2 victory over Minnesota Frost.
Wrap-Up
Boston PWHL holds a slight edge, having dominated their head-to-head history and led by standout performances from Clarkson and McIntyre. But
Ottawa Lady Senators ain't no pushover. Donovan and Hughes have the firepower to turn the tide. Absences on both sides may tip the balance in unexpected ways, especially in the goaltending department for Boston. If Reid's injury lingers, Boston’s netminders will need to step up—gotta bury those chances if they wanna stay on top.
Summary
It's shaping up to be a tight contest. Boston’s recent form's been a rollercoaster, but their track record against Ottawa speaks volumes. Ottawa, riding some momentum after that win against Minnesota, could pose a real threat if they capitalize on Boston's current defensive gaps. With key players missing from both lineups, this game could swing either way. But given Boston's past success and the firepower they’ve got, they might just have the upper hand if they can keep it together on their home ice.
