K??ov, Nyln Persson and O'Brien score 3 straight goals as the Sirens rally
past the Sceptres 3-2
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) --- Denisa K??ov, Maja Nyln Persson and Casey O'Brien
scored three straight goals in the third period to help the New York Sirens
rally past the Toronto Sceptres 3-2 on Wednesday night.
New York (9-2-3-13) and Toronto (9-1-5-12) are tied for fifth place in the PWHL
standings with 34 points apiece, trailing Ottawa's 36 for the final playoff
spot.
O'Brien tipped in Nicole Vallario's shot with just under four minutes remaining
for the game-winning goal. O'Brien, who entered with five assists in her last
three home games, became just the second rookie in PWHL history to record
20-plus points --- joining Sarah Fillier in 2024-25.
After Toronto took a 2-0 lead with 11:09 left in the third, K??ov scored 39
seconds later for her first goal with the Sirens. K??ov cleaned up a loose
pick in the slot and sent a backhander past Raygan Kirk.
Nyln Persson added a power-play goal to tie it at 2-all with 5:07 left.
The Sirens won their fourth straight home game --- the longest single-season
streak at home in team history.
Toronto had won all four of its road games in regulation since the Olympic
break.
Daryl Watts opened the scoring late in the second period with a jailbreak goal.
Ella Shelton, a former Sirens defender, gave Toronto a two-goal lead with a
sharp-angle shot.

Toronto stays on the road to play Minnesota on Sunday.
New York begins a three-game road trip to end the regular season, beginning
with Ottawa on Saturday.
