Seattle Torrent's Road Woes Get Worse: Another Loss in Montreal
The Seattle Torrent's nightmare road trip just got darker. They traveled to Montreal on Thursday night and got absolutely punished by the Victoire, who dominated 4-1 to tie Minnesota and Boston for first place in the PWHL. This loss stings because it's the kind of game that defines a season, and Seattle is running out of time to figure out how to win away from home.
Montreal Was Just Too Much
Laura Stacey was the star of the show, scoring twice and adding an assist to lead Montreal's attack. Catherine Dubois, with her first goal of the season, and Skylar Irving also found the back of the net. Seattle's only answer came from Alex Carpenter, who scored but it wasn't nearly enough. Ann-Renée Desbiens was solid in the Montreal net, stopping 24 shots. Hannah Murphy made 19 saves for the Torrent, but the team in front of her just couldn't get it done.
The Road Curse Continues
Here's the real problem: the Torrent still haven't won a single game on the road. They're now 0-8-1-1 in 10 road games. That's not just bad, that's a season-killer. And it gets worse. Seattle has dropped seven straight games away from home. When you can't steal wins on the road, you don't make playoff runs. You get left behind.
Montreal, meanwhile, was looking to bounce back after blowing a three-goal third-period lead on Sunday in a 4-3 overtime loss to Boston. They did exactly that. Victoire captain Marie-Philip Poulin missed the game due to a lower-body injury she suffered in that Sunday game when forward Shay Maloney made contact. It's the same right leg that gave Poulin trouble during the Milan Cortina Olympics.
Next Up: Boston
The Torrent get a chance to snap this brutal streak Saturday when they travel to Boston. With a 5-12-1-2 record, Seattle is sitting in last place and needs this win badly. Can they finally get a road victory when it matters most?
