Aerin Frankel allowed just one goal in a shootout and the Boston Fleet rallied to beat the Montreal Victoire 3-2 as the Professional Women's Hockey League took its Takeover Tour to Climate Pledge Arena on Sunday.

Frankel thwarted three straight shots after Marie-Philip Poulin scored on the first attempt for Montreal (3-2-1-1). Ann-Renee Desbiens allowed goals by Hannah Brandt, Hannah Bilka and Susanna Tapani after the two clubs played to a 2-2 draw through regulation and a 5-minute overtime in front of a crowd of 12,608 fans.

Montreal jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first period. Laura Stacey found the net on the power play 6:28 into the match and Abby Boreen scored 10 minutes later. It was the third goal of the season for both players. Jennifer Gardiner and Cayla Barnes notched assists on Stacey's goal and Boreen was aided by assists from Erin Ambrose and Kristin O'Neill.

Bilka scored a power-play goal at 12:45 in the second period to pull Boston within 2-1. Megan Keller and Amanda Pelkey had assists on Bilka's second goal of the campaign.
