LAVAL, Que. – There weren’t a ton of positives for the Montreal Victoire in the final minutes of Thursday’s opening game of the PWHL Finals.

The top-ranked team trailed the Ottawa Charge 2-1, and while pressing for a tying goal with Ann-Renée Desbiens pulled for the extra attacker, Laura Stacey looked badly injured on a play along the boards.
