Who will join Minnesota?
The Calgary leg of the 2021 Dream Gap Tour is underway and here are the standings through three days:
-
Team Bauer/Montreal – 7 points
-
Team Sonnet/Toronto – 6 points
-
Team Scotiabank/Calgary – 0 points
Needless to say, the region representing the last Clarkson Cup champions has some work to do. Calgary takes on Montreal today at 3:30 pm ET. I’ve been on WNBA duty and sadly haven’t caught a live game. No worries though, if you’re like me you can catch the replays here.
On Saturday, I’ll be tuning in from the Liberty game as Toronto and Calgary square off. The championship game for the Canada region is set to take place Sunday, May 30 at 3:30 pm ET.
Here are the individual leaders through Thursday:
Points – Marie-Philip Poulin (6)
Goals – Brittany Howard, Jamie Lee Rattray. Poulin (3)
Assists – Sarah Nurse, Anne-Sophie Bettaz, Brianne Jenner, Poulin (3)
Bettez suffered an injury last night, no updates on her condition, per Mike Murphy on Twitter.
