Anna Bargman recorded her first goal in PWHL history and Kristina Kaltunkova scored the go-ahead goal for the New York Sirens in a 4-3 win over Montreal Victoire on Friday in Newark, New Jersey.
Bargman scored in the final minutes of the first period, crossing to tie the game after Laura Stacey scored for Montreal 3:47 into the game. The rookie recorded his first PWHL point in the Sirens' last game against the GoldenEyes. She was a fifth-round pick by New York in this year's draft out of Yale, where she ranks fourth on the Bulldogs' all-time goals list.
The New York Sirens scored late in the third period on Patin Levis' goal that proved to be the game-winning goal against Montreal.
Christine O'Neill scored her second goal of the season in the second period for New York (5-0-0-5), but Victoire captain Marie-Philip Poulin responded with a power-play goal. Kaltunkova scored in her fourth straight game to take a 3–2 lead.
Patyn Levis scored off a feed from Sarah Filje to extend New York's lead midway through the third period. In the final minutes, Montreal (3-0-1-4) pulled goaltender Sandra Abstreiter to bring another skater onto the field. With 24 seconds left, Natalya Mlynkova deflected Abby Roque's shot into the net, but Montreal didn't have time to equalize.
Sirens goalie Cale Osborne stopped a career-high 42 shots. Abstreiter finished the game with 17 saves.
