Seattle Torrent snapped a rough stretch with a 4-1 win over New York Sirens at Allstate Arena in Chicago on Tuesday. The neutral-site victory was a rare bright spot for a Torrent team that has struggled for consistency this season.
Hilary Knight has carried Seattle's offense all year with 29 points in 30 games, including 15 goals. Alex Carpenter has contributed 23 points in 26 games as the second scoring threat. Julia Gosling added 16 points across 30 games.
The Torrent got production up and down the lineup in this one. Cayla Barnes has 13 points from the blue line in 30 games. Danielle Serdachny has 11 points in 23 games.
Seattle's goaltending held firm. Corinne Schroeder has posted a .930 save percentage across 15 starts this season, though the team's record has not always reflected her play.
New York's offense was limited to a single goal. Sarah Fillier leads the Sirens with 29 points in 30 games, but she could not find a way through Seattle's defense on this night. Kristyna Kaltounkova has 11 goals in 21 games for the Sirens.
Kayle Osborne took the loss for New York. Her .905 save percentage on the season reflects the workload she has faced behind a Sirens defense that has been leaky at times.
Both teams remain in the bottom half of the standings. Seattle sits eighth with 22 points. New York is sixth at 27 points with time running out on their playoff bid.
Seattle heads to their next game at Climate Pledge Arena. New York returns to Northwell Health Ice Center.
