Tapani, Keller score, Frankel has shutout as Fleet top Victoire 2-0 in season opener
[byline]
LOWELL, Mass. (AP) — Susanna Tapani scored 73 seconds into the game, Megan Keller added a power play goal early in the third period and the Boston Fleet capped opening weekend of the PWHL season with a 2-0 win over the Montreal Victoire on Sunday.
Aerin Frankel made 25 saves for Boston.
Tapani put a shot on goal from the left circle and it trickled past Ann-Renee Desbiens.
Marie-Philip, who took a double-penalty late in the second period, was penalized for an illegal check as soon as she got out of the box in the third period. Keller took advantage, patiently waiting on the edge of the crease until the puck found her for an insurance goal.
Desbiens made 26 saves.
