Much of the game was a goaltending duel, and neither team scored until the third period.

Haley Winn was the first to strike, putting Fleet on the board early in the final frame with her second goal of the year.
Hannah Miller responded for the Goldeneyes with 3:26 remaining, firing a one-timer past Boston goalie Aerin Frankel from just inside the blue line.
Frankel stopped 25 of the 26 shots he faced and the Fleet won its sixth straight game.
Kristen Campbell made 25 saves in the Vancouver net.
The victory returned the Fleet to sole possession of first place in the league standings, two points ahead of Montreal Victoire.
Vancouver was without goaltender Emerance Maschmeyer, who is listed day-to-day with an upper-body injury. Kimberly Newell served as Campbell’s backup.
