Goldeneyes’ Offense Breaks Through With Five-Goal Shutout Over Sceptres
VANCOUVER, BC (January 22, 2026) – A trio of Vancouver Goldeneyes stung their former Toronto Sceptres team during the visitors’ first visit to Pacific Coliseum Thursday night. Led by two goals from alternate captain Sarah Nurse, one from Izzy Daniel and a shutout from Kristen Campbell, the Goldeneyes overtook the Sceptres 5-0 in the largest margin of victory in the PWHL so far this season, scoring the most goals in Goldeneyes team history. Campbell put on a clinic for the packed crowd of 14,006, turning away all of Toronto’s 24 shots for her first shutout since the inaugural season. After a scoreless first period, Vancouver opened up in the second, started by Daniel at 5:58 with her third of the season, followed by Tereza Vanišová and Nurse reaching the back of the net unassisted just 11 seconds apart at 13:31 and 13:42 to set a new record for the fastest two goals by one team in PWHL history. Vancouver piled on in the third period, with Nurse’s second goal of the night at 3:58 – her first multi-point game of the year – and Abby Boreen capping the scoring at 9:35. Elaine Chuli took the loss for the Sceptres, surrendering all five goals on 28 shots.
Toronto finishes its West Coast swing with consecutive losses and looks to rebound in Montréal on Wednesday, where they have split the two local games and added a shootout loss in the first Halifax Takeover Tour game. Vancouver snapped a three-game losing streak with tonight’s win and have two more games on the schedule before the Olympic break. They face Seattle on Sunday in PWHL Takeover Tour action in Denver, followed by their first trip to Minnesota’s Grand Casino Arena where former Frost defenders Mellissa Channell-Watkins, Sophie Jaques and Claire Thompson will be presented with their 2024-25 Walter Cup Championship Rings.
