Boston has been off to a rocky start in 2025. They have lost most of their games on the road and are pushing through during home games. Rookie Hannah Bilka and Susanna Tapani might be the hottest players on the Fleet now. Bilka has three goals and five points in 12 games and Tapani has five goals and one assist in 12 games. Heading into this game, the Fleet are last in the league sitting one point behind Toronto.
New York is third in the league 2 points ahead of Ottawa. It is no doubt that New York might be the hottest team in the league and have had the most turnaround season compared to last season. The spot for second place is a bit out of reach for New York, Minnesota has 25 points but any points tonight could help in their favor.
Standings:
Boston is sixth overall with 15 points (3-2-2-5) and New York is third overall with 19 points (4-3-1-4)
