<\/p>\nThe Goldeneyes (5-1-2-9) got on the board 9:07 into the third period Sunday when Izzy Daniel sent a one-timer through Kirk\u2019s legs for her fifth goal of the season. <\/p>\n
\t<\/p>\n
Emerance Maschmeyer stopped 22 of the 24 shots she faced in the Vancouver net. <\/p>\n
TAKEAWAYS<\/p>\n
GOLDENEYES: Played their first game since Jan. 28 and showed some rust early with turnovers that led to the two Sceptres\u2019 goals. \u2026 Signed forward Brianna Brooks to a 10-day contract Sunday as forward Katie Chan and defender Claire Thompson work their way back from upper-body injuries.<\/p>\n
SCEPTRES: After taking the early lead, Toronto\u2019s focus appeared to turn to defence over the second and third periods, with the visitors blocking 20 shots across the game. \u2026 Leading scorer Darryl Watts missed the game with an illness. <\/p>\n
KEY MOMENT<\/p>\n
The Goldeneyes pressed hard in the third but Kirk came up big, including 7:48 into the period when she dropped to the ice to stymie Sarah Nurse and reached back with her glove to ensure Vancouver\u2019s star forward couldn\u2019t poke a rebound into a crack between the netminder and her post. <\/p>\n
KEY STAT<\/p>\n
Neither team capitalized on its power plays, with both sides going 0-for-2 with the advantage.<\/p>\n
UP NEXT<\/p>\n
Goldeneyes: Continue a five-game homestand against the Boston Fleet on March 10.<\/p>\n
Sceptres: Host the Montreal Victoire on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
