Kristen Campbell posted a 30-save shutout as PWHL Toronto sold out Scotiabank Arena on Friday night for the Battle on Bay St against PWHL Montreal. The full house at Scotiabank Arena of 19,285 enjoyed Jesse Compher, Hannah Miller, and Victoria Bach all scoring for Toronto in the 3-0 win over Marie-Philip Poulin's team.
One thing that stood out: the noise! The building was electric.
JESSE COMPHER BREAKS THE STALEMATE!

I've said it since September, the only reason Toronto couldn't be in SBA this season was they couldn't get scheduled in last minute. They'll be there all next season and it's going to do wonders for the sport.

Toronto has fully turned their season around and Campbell's results are showing just how much better they've been.

She was criticized early but has battled through and has been terrific recently. A 30-save shutout at Scotiabank Arena, huge game for her.

Tessa Virtue and her husband were the star guests of the night, but a group of Leafs players also bought a box to watch the best women's hockey players in the world.
NEW: A group of Maple Leafs players have purchased a box for tonight's #PWHL Toronto game at Scotiabank Arena, Brian Burke tells me.

Leafs players have been "very supportive" of the PWHL but haven't been able to attend a game yet due to scheduling conflicts, Burke said.
One thing I didn't know was Laura Stacey's great grandfather was King Clancy. She got to play under his rafter last night.

Malinowski also got a point in some Friday NCAA action.
