Know your enemy
- Hayley Scamurra, Mikayla Grant-Mentis, Daryl Watts: While MGM thought she scored the first goal in franchise history it was Scamurra that netted it a little bit later after review reversed the forms tally. Locals are likely familiar with all three of these players and they should all make a mark in tonights game.
- Emerance Maschmeyer, Rachel McQuigge, Sandra Abstreiter: Masch is their clear top goalie but the PC alum Abstrieter will likely warn some playing time as will McQuigge.
Game notes
- It was a less then stellar start to the last game though many account the first home game jitters for that.
- Boston is the first team to get a second crack at home as they take on Ottawa which started at home against Montreal.
- Ottawa was the first home team to score a goal but was unable to hold on as they were taken to OT by Montreal and eventually lost.
- Lines on Wednesday had some huge names matched together. Coach Kissel gave no indications after the last game that she planned any big changes.
- Rumblings of a Soderberg start for tonight might come true which would leave Frankel rested for a trip to Montreal to initiate a new chapter in the rivalry with that city.
