PWHPA Dream Gap Tour wraps up Montreal showcase with shootout thriller

The Professional Women's Hockey Players' Association's Dream Gap Tour wrapped up the first showcase event of its fourth season on Sunday in Montreal, with Team Scotiabank and Team Harvey's rebounding from opening-day losses.

The PWHPA Dream Gap Tour will next head to Truro, N.S., (Nov. 4-6) before going to Pittsburgh (Nov. 25-27). Each stop will include all four PWHPA teams, showcasing some of the top women's hockey players in North America.

Shelton, a defender from Ingersoll, Ont., opened the scoring early with a shot over the blocker of American goalie Aerin Frankel from the left circle. She added the insurance goal late in the first period with a shot from the point, while Johnston scored in the final minute of the period on a two-on-one break.

It was a big win for Team Scotiabank, who fell 4-2 to Team Sonnet on Saturday to kick off the showcase.

Sunday's final game was a different story entirely, with a shootout goal from Clair DeGeorge lifting Team Harvey's over Team Sonnet.

The game was tied 1-1 entering the third period in a tight battle that saw both goaltenders shine. Team Sonnet goalie Lindsay Browning was named the game's second star behind DeGeorge, who also scored in the third period to momentarily give her team the lead.

Team Sonnet responded quickly to tie the game following DeGeorge's goal in the third period, with Alexa Vasko finding the back of the net for her second goal of the showcase.

Canadian superstar Marie-Philip Poulin scored a highlight-reel backhand goal for Team Harvey's on the first shot of the shootout.
