MONTREAL (AP) — Sarah Nurse scored twice, including in overtime, and Kristen Campbell made 37 saves

MONTREAL (AP) — Sarah Nurse scored twice, including in overtime, and Kristen Campbell made 37 saves as Toronto defeated Montreal 3-2 before a record crowd on Saturday.

The 21,105 attendance set a high-water mark for a women’s hockey game, exceeding the 19,285 set when the same two teams met at Scotiabank Arena on Feb. 16.

The previous record of 18,013 at the 2013 world championship in Ottawa stood for a decade before the PWHL started this year.

Fans of all ages — some hoisting signs that read “Girls Hockey Rules” and “2033 PWHL Draft Eligible” — waved white towels, wore flashing bracelets and roared throughout the afternoon at the home of the NHL’s Canadiens.

Montreal captain Marie-Philip Poulin, one of hockey’s all-time greats, received a deafening standings ovation followed by chants of “Pou! Pou! Pou!” when introduced in the starting lineup.
