As the 2025/26 PWHL regular season winds down, individual scoring records continue to fall in quick succession — with Hayley Scamurra driving the trend.
Just days after Vancouver’s Jenn Gardiner set the single-game scoring record with four goals against Seattle, the Team USA forward scored the fastest hat trick in league history in Montréal’s 4-3 defeat to the Goldeneyes.
The Olympic gold medalist scored her trio of third-period goals in just two minutes and 44 seconds — also becoming the league’s first player to register a hat trick in a losing effort.
Scamurra’s Victoire can afford the slip-up, sitting atop the PWHL standings heading into Saturday’s regular-season finale with its postseason ticket already punched.
Boston and defending champion Minnesota await Montréal in the 2026 PWHL playoffs, with Seattle, Vancouver, and New York eliminated from contention while Toronto and Ottawa battle for the fourth and final postseason slot.
“It will be like a playoff game before the playoffs,” Ottawa interim head coach Haley Irwin said of Saturday’s Decision Day. “The mindset, in terms of how we play and how we’re going to go about it doesn’t change.”
The PWHL’s Decision Day kicks off on Saturday at 12 PM ET, live on YouTube.
