The dial was turned up to eleven for Game 2 between Montreal and Ottawa, and when the dust settled 5 hours, 34 minutes later, it was Montreal who emerged victorious, winning 3–2 to tie the series at 1–1.

Shiann Darkangelo broke a third-period tie, Gwyneth Philips made 31 saves and the Ottawa Charge beat the Montreal Victoire 3-2 on Thursday night in Game 1 of the PWHL semifinal series.

After a season of ups and downs that ended on a high, the Ottawa Charge could have adopted an eight-year-old hit by country superstar Luke Combs as its pre-game pump-up song.
