Daryl Watts scores twice, including OT winner, as surging Sceptres sink Charge

Daryl Watts scored 51 seconds into overtime, propelling the Toronto Sceptres to a 3-2 Professional Women's Hockey League victory over the Ottawa Charge Sunday at Rogers Place.

It was Watts' second goal of the game — part of the PWHL's Takeover Tour — following a second-period power-play marker. Julia Gosling also scored for Toronto (6-2-4-6) with the man advantage.

Gosling's marker found its way through the pads of Charge goalie Emerance Maschmeyer with 23.4 seconds left in the second period

A power-play marker from Gabbie Hughes on the first shot of the game had staked Ottawa (6-0-3-8) to an early lead. Hughes took a crisp pass from Jincy Roese, then rotated from her backhand to her forehand before sweeping the puck past Toronto netminder Raygan Kirk.

Ottawa tied the game at 4:10 of the third, as the Charge's Tereza Vanisova walked into a shot from the slot. It was the Czech's team-leading eighth goal of the season.

Toronto scratched reigning league MVP Natalie Spooner, who made her return from injury in Wednesday's win over Minnesota. With this being the team's third game in five days, Spooner was given the afternoon off for "load management."
