TORONTO — Kristyna Kaltounkova was the star of the night, scoring two goals to lead the New York Sirens to a 2-0 victory over the Toronto Sceptres on Tuesday. The win marked the fourth consecutive triumph for New York, showcasing their impressive form.

In the net, Kayle Osborne delivered an outstanding performance, stopping all 31 shots she faced to secure a shutout for the Sirens. On the other side, Elaine Chuli managed 20 saves for Toronto, but it wasn’t enough to prevent the team from sliding to their third straight loss.

The first goal of the game came 2 minutes and 50 seconds into the second period when Kaltounkova expertly tipped in a shot from the point by Jincy Roese. The Sirens capitalized on their momentum just a minute later, creating a chaotic scene in front of the Toronto net. During the ensuing scramble, New York was awarded a penalty shot after Ella Shelton was penalized for a closing hand on the puck infraction.

Kaltounkova took the penalty shot with confidence but was denied her hat-trick when the puck clanged off the right post. Despite this near miss, her earlier efforts secured the win for New York, further cementing their status as a formidable force in the league.

Just over a minute later, following a New York chance that caused a big scramble in front, Kaltounkova had a penalty shot opportunity after the officials called a closing hand on puck infraction against Ella Shelton. However, Kaltounkova rang her shot off the right post.

She added an empty-net goal with 6.5 seconds left in the contest.

The Sceptres made a push late, with under a minute remaining but couldn’t beat Osborne.

Both sides played sloppily but the Sirens managed to take advantage of one opportunity.

The victory helped the Sirens move past the Minnesota Frost for second place in the PWHL standings, one point behind the Boston Fleet.
