It’s hard to imagine a more fitting way for the Montreal Victoire to get their first playoff win in team history. Not only did it come in overtime. Not only did it come after blowing a 2-0 lead late in the third period. Not only did it come on May 11. Not only did it come in the new longest PWHL game in history. It came from the team’s second line. It came on a turnover created by Kristin O’Neill. It came on a pass from O’Neill. It came on a shot by Catherine Dubois.
