SEATTLE (AP) — Lexie Adzija scored Seattle’s first short-handed goal of the season in the third period to take the lead for good, and the Torrent beat the Toronto Sceptres 6-4 on Tuesday night to snap a three-game losing streak.
The expansion Torrent set the franchise’s single-game record for goals (six) and tied for the most in the Professional Women’s Hockey League this season. The 10 combined goals were the most in a PWHL game this season. Minnesota and Seattle combined for eight goals — the previous high — in the Frost’s 6-2 win on Jan. 11.
Jessie Eldridge had a goal and two assists and Hannah Bilka added a goal and an assist for Seattle (4-1-2-5). Hilary Knight. Julia Gosling, and Megan Carter, who played 19 games for Toronto as a rookie last season, also scored for the Torrent. Carter’s goal — the first of her career and the first by a Seattle defender this season — made it 5-3 with 14:34 left in the game. Corinne Schroeder had 31 saves.
Blayre Turnbull, Jesse Compher, Kali Flanagan and Natalie Spooner each scored for Toronto (4-1-3-6), which beat Vancouver 2-1 in overtime Saturday at home to snap a four-game losing streak. Raygan Kirk had 27 saves.
Turnbull opened the scoring 78 seconds into the game and Compher added a goal to give Toronto a 2-0 lead less than three minutes in.
Flanagan scored her first goal of the season with 9:30 remaining in the second period to make it 3-3.
