In an intense match held in Toronto, Kaltounkova struck first, tipping in a point shot from Jincy Roese just 2:50 into the second period. Moments later, she nearly scored again, earning a penalty shot after a closing hand on puck infraction by Ella Shelton. However, Kaltounkova’s shot hit the right post, keeping the score at 1-0.

With only 6.5 seconds left in the game, Kaltounkova secured her second goal with an empty-netter, sealing the win for the Sirens. The Sceptres, despite a late push in the final minute, were unable to breach the defense led by Kayle Osborne, who achieved a remarkable 31-save shutout.

The loss marked the third consecutive defeat for Toronto, as Elaine Chuli recorded 20 saves but couldn’t prevent the Sirens from capitalizing on their limited opportunities. The Sirens’ victory elevates them past the Minnesota Frost into second place in the PWHL, just one point behind the leading Boston Fleet.
