Ann-Renée Desbiens stopped 40 of 41 shots in regulation and turned away all five Minnesota Frost attempts in the shootout as the Montreal Victoire escaped Place Bell with their 15th win of the season.

It felt more similar to the line of scrimmage in a football game, just waiting for an individual play to make something happen. It took about seven minutes for Laval to create the opening chances, and some very good counter-attacks, but Devon Levi stood tall at those…

After a trade deadline that saw Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens stand pat, they continued their western Canadian road swing against the Calgary Flames. A win would have been massive for their wild card hopes, but they found themselves in a very low-scoring affair, during which they were unable to find a single goal en-route to a 1-0 loss. It was quite the goaltending duel between…
