Vanišová scores twice late as Ottawa Charge stun Boston Fleet to keep playoff hopes alive![]() Tereza Vanišová scored a pair of goals in a 32-second span with just three-and-a-half minutes left and the Ottawa Charge stunned the Boston Fleet 2-1 on Saturday in St. Louis. The win moves the Charge (10-11-1-4) into the fourth and final position for a playoff berth with four games left in the regular season. Vanišová provided the go-ahead score with three minutes left poking in a loose puck at the net past Fleet (8-8-6-4) goalie Aerin Frankel who denied Ottawa for 56 minutes. Vanišová knotted it at 1-1 off a Boston turnover in the Fleet end rifling a shot past Frankel with 3:32 left. Vanišová leads Ottawa with 14 goals and has scored six in the last four games. WATCH l Vanišová lifts Charge over Fleet for crucial win: With a little more than four minutes left to play, Frankel turned away Gabbie Hughes with a sprawling kick save. Then, less than 15 seconds later, Frankel thwarted Danielle Serdachny with a glove save off a hard wrist shot. Boston's Susanna Tapani intercepted a pass in Ottawa's end and scored unassisted on a wrister for the first goal of the game at the 8:25 mark of the first period. It was Tapani's 11th goal of the season. A scoreless second period proved to be a function of outstanding goaltending turned in by Frankel and Ottawa's Gwenyth Philips who were previously teammates at Northeastern University. Boston lost for just second time this season (7-2) after establishing a first-period lead. It was Ottawa's first win of the season against Boston in five attempts. Four of the five games have been decided by a single goal. WATCH l Full replay of Charge-Fleet game in St. Louis: Source link Posted: 2025-03-30 06:46:15 |
