PWHL Ottawa Charge Steals Extra-Time Victory After Vancouver Goldeneyes’ Strong Start
This afternoon, Rebecca Leslie ended the game just under three minutes into overtime, lifting the Ottawa Charge to a 3–2 win over the Vancouver Goldeneyes at Pacific Coliseum.
With the teams trading chances in extra time, Ottawa captain Brianne Jenner carried the puck up ice before finding Leslie in space. Leslie fired a quick shot through traffic that beat the goaltender bar-down, sealing the victory in front of a crowd of 11,201. The goal marked the 11th time this season that Jenner and Leslie have combined on a score.
Vancouver controlled much of the early play. The Goldeneyes pushed the pace in the first period and held a 12–3 advantage in shots, though neither side found the net.
Ottawa finally broke through late in the second period on the power play. Fanuza Kadirova stepped into a one-timer after a redirected pass from Sarah Wozniewicz, giving the Charge a 1–0 lead in the final minute of the frame.
The third period swung the game in Vancouver’s favour. Sarah Nurse electrified the crowd with an end-to-end rush, finishing a highlight-reel solo effort to tie the game midway through the period. Five minutes later, defender Sophie Jaques snapped a shot past the goalie to give Vancouver its first lead of the afternoon.
The Goldeneyes looked set to close it out, but Ottawa forced overtime in the final minute of regulation. Wozniewicz found the equalizer with 54 seconds left, quieting the home crowd and sending the game to extra time.
In goal, Gwyneth Philips turned aside 34 shots for Ottawa, recording her 10th win of the season and becoming the first goaltender in the league to surpass 500 saves this year. Vancouver netminder Kristen Campbell made 14 saves in the loss.
Vancouver finished with a 36–17 edge in shots but dropped its second straight overtime game at Pacific Coliseum.
The Goldeneyes continue their homestand Wednesday night against the New York Sirens, while Ottawa heads to face the Minnesota Frost.

PWHL Vancouver Goldeneyes took down Montréal Victoire in a 4-3 thriller
Fresh off a gutsy win against Seattle, the Vancouver Goldeneyes returned to the Pacific Coliseum to host the league-leading Montréal Victoire in front of a packed crowd of 10,946. Despite a late Hayley Scamurra hat trick, the Goldeneyes held on to win 4-3 in regulation, earning three valuable gold plan points in the race for the first overall draft pick.
As It Happened
On Tuesday night, the Goldeneyes celebrated the South Asian Heritage and South Asian communities across British Columbia and beyond. The Abbotsford Canucks’s Arshdeep Bains, a high school classmate of fellow Surrey native Jenn Gardiner, was here at the Rink on Renfrew for the ceremonial puck drop.
The “Souuuup!” and “Holy moly what a goalie!” chants broke out early in the first period as Kristen Campbell made a pad save against Catherine Dubois. Vancouver and Montréal both put up 14 shots through the first two periods, but it’s Vancouver with the two-goal lead heading into the dressing room. The Goldeneyes opened the scoring fifteen minutes into the game. Tereza Vanišová took advantage of a Montréal turnover and set up Sarah Nurse’s eighth goal of the season. A tripping penalty to Jessica DiGirolamo gave Vancouver a power play at 7:36 of the second period. Vancouver’s captain Ashton Bell converted it with a stunning snipe to double the lead.
The third period turned into an emotional roller coaster for the fans on both sides. Vanišová, already with two assists under her belt in this game, drove the net to get past Sandra Abstreiter, extending Vancouver’s lead to three. Less than four minutes later, The Goldeneyes added a fourth goal with Claire Thompson firing a mesmerizing one-timer. With the assist on this goal, Sophie Jaques became the first PWHL defender to reach 50 career points. Desperate for a goal, the Victoire pulled the goaltender with more than eight minutes left in the game. Hayley Scamurra put on a show to score three goals in just two minutes and forty-four seconds to stun the crowd. Suddenly, it’s a one-goal game. The fastest hat trick in the PWHL history made the final five minutes of the game a nerve-wrecking time for the home fans. “Everyone got their money’s worth, on the edge of the seat right till the end,” Vancouver Head Coach Brian Idalski commented at the post-game press conference. As the final horn went off at the Pacific Coliseum, Montréal ran out of time for an equalizer, receiving their first regulation loss in seventeen games. Kristen Campbell held on with 25 saves, becoming the third PWHL goalie with 30 career wins.
The victory marked Vancouver’s first win against the Montréal Victoire and the first time winning three games in a row.

AEW Dynasty Delivers Chaos, Classics, and a Devilish Ending in Vancouver – Recap & Photos
AEW made its Dynasty debut in Vancouver on April 12, 2026, and the company didn’t waste the moment. From the opening bell to the final image of MJF sitting on his throne, the night was loaded and memorable.
The main event was the headline for a reason. Kenny Omega challenged MJF for the AEW World Championship in a match built on a simple story: “God” vs. “Devil.” Omega had the crowd fully behind him, and it looked like he finally did it after landing the One-Winged Angel. But the referee was down, and MJF did what MJF does. A low blow, the Dynamite Diamond Ring, and a brutal finish later, the champion escaped again. It was dramatic and messy, leaving the door wide open for what’s next.
Earlier in the night, Darby Allin earned that next shot. His match with Andrade El Ídolo was one of the night’s standouts. Allin took a beating, gave one back, and found a slick pin to seal it. After the match, he made it clear: he wants MJF, and he wants him now. That title match is set for Dynamite in Everett, just down the road from where Allin trained.
The show opened hot with The Young Bucks taking on Kazuchika Okada and Konosuke Takeshita. It was chaos in the best way: constant motion, near-falls, and a story bubbling under the surface. Miscommunication between Okada and Takeshita cost them in the end, and the Bucks capitalized. The bigger takeaway: that partnership looks finished.
Jon Moxley vs. Will Ospreay for the Continental Championship leaned more into grit. Ospreay came out firing but got caught chasing punishment instead of the win. Moxley absorbed everything, targeted Ospreay’s neck, and closed it out with a Death Rider. It wasn’t clean or pretty, but that’s Moxley.
The tag title match brought emotion. Adam Copeland and Christian Cage tried to grab one last run at gold against FTR. They came close, but interference and a well-timed Shatter Machine shut it down. Copeland left the match bloodied, leaving the crowd shaken up.
There were title changes too. Kevin Knight won a wild Casino Gauntlet to claim the vacant TNT Championship, outlasting a stacked field.
In the trios division, Kyle O’Reilly returned to join Orange Cassidy and Roderick Strong, and The Conglomeration walked out as new champions after a feel-good win over The Dogs.
On the women’s side, Thekla retained the AEW Women’s World Title against Jamie Hayter in a hard-hitting match that didn’t end clean. A rope-assisted pin sealed it, which keeps that rivalry alive.
One of the more surprising highlights came from Chris Jericho vs. Ricochet. Jericho’s return had the crowd singing every word of “Judas,” but Ricochet spoiled the comeback with help from his crew and a flashy finish. It was smoother than expected and got the crowd going.
After the show, AEW CEO Tony Khan used the media scrum to set the next chapter. He confirmed Allin vs. MJF for Dynamite, plus Kevin Knight’s first TNT title defense against Claudio Castagnoli. There was bad news too: Gabe Kidd is out indefinitely with a shoulder injury suffered during the trios match.
Khan also addressed Ricochet’s recent social media controversy, saying he had a direct conversation with him and made it clear it crossed a line.
This Dynasty night didn’t try to do too much. It just stacked good matches, let the crowd react, and kept things moving. By the end, it felt like one of AEW’s cleanest pay-per-views in a while. Vancouver definitely got a strong first impression.
Catch AEW Dynamite Spring Break Thru LIVE on TBS and streaming on HBO Max this Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT from Everett, Washington.
