Amanda Pelkey, with her second goal in as many games, and Sidney Morin scored for Boston (6-5-3-6). The Fleet saw their four-game winning streak snapped, the team's longest active win streak in the PWHL.

Aerin Frankel made 27 saves in a losing effort.

The Victoire welcomed forward Catherine Dubois back to the lineup. The Quebec City native had missed Montreal's last four games with an upper-body injury suffered on Feb. 2 against New York.

Victoire: Montreal won for the second straight game despite trailing. The Victoire have seven come-from-behind wins this season.

Fleet: Boston failed to convert on its four power-play opportunities. The Fleet have scored at a 16.1 per cent clip with the advantage, second-worst in the league.

It took the Victoire one shift and all of 36 seconds to get on the scoreboard in the first period. Tabin accepted a feed from Jennifer Gardiner before firing a point shot that made its way through traffic past Frankel to give Montreal the early lead.
