Know your enemy
- Alex Carpenter, Abby Roque, Chloe Aurard: All well known names, it will be intriguing to see Carpenter face off against her home team in Boston today, she has done so previously when she played for the Chinese teams in the CWHL. This will also mark the first time Aurard and Muller will face off professionally after being line mantes for 5 years at Northeastern and signing contracts with the Pride of the PHF to remain together. Roque has built a reputation as a skilled disruptor and shows no sign of stopping so far in this young PWHL season.
- Corinne Schroeder, Abigail Levy, Lindsay Post: Both of New York’s likely starters are familiar names around Boston with Levy playing for BC and Schroeder at BU and then broke out last season for the Pride. Both have allowed six goals so far this season soothes have room to improve but Schroeder has been between the pipes for both of the teams wins.
