Daryl Watts scores twice, including OT winner, as surging Sceptres sink Charge

Daryl Watts scored 51 seconds into overtime, propelling the Toronto Sceptres to a 3-2 Professional Women's Hockey League victory over the Ottawa Charge Sunday at Rogers Place.

It was Watts' second goal of the game — part of the PWHL's Takeover Tour — following a second-period power-play marker. Julia Gosling also scored for Toronto (6-2-4-6) with the man advantage.

Gosling's marker found its way through the pads of Charge goalie Emerance Maschmeyer with 23.4 seconds left in the second period

A power-play marker from Gabbie Hughes on the first shot of the game had staked Ottawa (6-0-3-8) to an early lead. Hughes took a crisp pass from Jincy Roese, then rotated from her backhand to her forehand before sweeping the puck past Toronto netminder Raygan Kirk.

WATCH | Sceptres beat Charge in OT, earning 4th consecutive win:

Ottawa tied the game at 4:10 of the third, as the Charge's Tereza Vanisova walked into a shot from the slot. It was the Czech's team-leading eighth goal of the season.

Toronto scratched reigning league MVP Natalie Spooner, who made her return from injury in Wednesday's win over Minnesota. With this being the team's third game in five days, Spooner was given the afternoon off for "load management."

WATCH | Charges' Hughes helped off the ice after collision:

Jill Saulnier had a goal and an assist and Czech goalkeeper Klara Peslarova came into the game in the second period and stonewalled Minnesota for 40 minutes as the Boston Fleet scored four unanswered goals to earn a 4-2 win over the Frost on Sunday in their only home game in the month of February.

Kendall Coyne Schofield picked up a loose puck just inside the blue line, jetted around a defender and beat Boston's starting goalkeeper Emma Söderberg near the 11-minute mark of the first period. Less than two minutes later Brooke McQuigge redirected a centring pass from Kelly Pannek with the blade of her skate to make it 2-0.

WATCH | Knight's goal helps Fleet complete comeback against Frost:

Saulnier, who did not have a point through 17 games, scored at 11:09 of the second period, then evened the game at 2-2 by stealing the puck with a clean back-check in her own zone, wheeling and finding Susanna Tapani in front of the Minnesota net, where she fired a clean backhand shot off the post and past keeper Maddie Rooney less than two minutes into the third period.

Hilary Knight scored the go-ahead goal at 13:23 and after the Frost pulled Rooney for an extra attacker, Alina Muller whipped a shot into the empty net for an insurance goal and her ninth point in her last seven games.

Rooney finished with 17 saves on 20 shots. S├╢derberg had seven saves on nine shots before leaving.
