Gavrilova sparks Team Scotiabank's comeback win over Team Adidas in semifinal at PWHPA women's hockey showcase
Ilya Gavrilova potted three goals, including the game-winner, to help propel Team Scotiabank (Calgary) to a 6-2 semifinal win over Team Adidas (Minnesota) on Saturday at the Professional Women's Hockey Players Association (PWHPA) Dream Gap Tour showcase hosted by the Washington Capitals.
The victory sets up a championship game against Team Sonnet (Toronto) on Sunday at 1:30 p.m. ET at the MedStar Capitals Iceplex in Arlington, Va. Team Adidas will face Team Bauer (Boston) in the consolation game earlier in the day at 10:30 a.m. ET.
Team Adidas jumped out to a quick multi-goal lead thanks to early markers from Americans Elizabeth Bauer and Samantha Donovan.
Team Scotiabank goalie Marlène Boissonnault of Dundee, N.B., seemed to lose track of the puck on both goals, but she bounced back and shut the door the rest of the way.
