SEATTLE (AP) — Sarah Wozniewicz gave Ottawa the lead, rookie Peyton Hemp scored her first goal, and Gwyneth Philips posted her first shutout of the season as the Charge blanked Seattle 2-0 on Sunday despite the return of Torrent’s captain Hilary Knight.
Ottawa (6-7-1-9) moved two points in front of the Toronto Sceptres for the fourth and final playoff spot in the Professional Women’s Hockey League with a match in hand and seven remaining in the regular season.
Wozniewicz was in the right place to bang in a deflection after a shot by Kathryn Reilly hit the skate of a Seattle defender in front of the net at the 9:09 mark of the first period.
Hemp gave the Charge a 2-0 lead when she scored with 1:23 left in the second period. Hemp collected six assists through her first 22 games.
