Goldeneyes hold on to beat Victoire 4-3

Tereza Vanisova had a goal and two assists as the Vancouver Goldeneyes held on for a 4-3 win over the Montreal Victoire.

Sarah Nurse scored her eighth goal of the season, Ashton Bell added a power-play goal midway through the second and Claire Thompson rounded out the scoring for the Goldeneyes (9-2-4-14).

Thompson’s goal at the 5:06 mark of the third period gave Vancouver a 4-0 lead, before Montreal (16-5-2-6) pulled goalie Sandra Abstreiter with more than seven minutes left on the game clock in favor of an extra attacker.

Hayley Scamurra responded with three goals over 2 minutes and 44 seconds to cut the Victoire’s deficit to a goal with the first hat trick of her PWHL career.
