Captain Marie-Philip Poulin scored the game-winning goal as Montreal edged New York 3-2 for its first win on home ice in Professional Women's Hockey League action Tuesday night at Place Bell.
Poulin received a pinpoint pass from Maureen Murphy on the backhand and tipped home her fourth of the season at 13:46 of the third period as the crowd erupted.
The 32-year-old from Beauceville, Que., appeared to score the game-winner three nights before in Montreal's home opener, only to have the goal called back in an eventual 3-2 overtime loss to Boston.
After an electric home opener Saturday at Verdun Auditorium, Montreal drew 6,334 spectators in its first game at Place Bell.
