PWHL playoff seeding comes down to regular-season finale

The GIST: All eight teams are in action during tomorrow’s four-game regular-season finale — and there’s a lot at stake ahead of puck drop. No time to waste — let’s skate to it.

💪 Toronto Sceptres and Ottawa Charge will battle for final playoff spot: The fourth and final postseason spot remains unclaimed, coming down to the Sceptres and Charge, who just so happen to be playing each other tomorrow at 2 p.m. ET. Toronto needs a regulation win (worth 3 points) to advance, while Ottawa simply needs to not lose in regulation thanks to their three-point cushion.

• The odds, and momentum, are in favor of the Charge: Ottawa tendy Gwyneth Philips is on fire and had a 42-save outing the last time these squads faced off. Toronto, meanwhile, has dropped three of their last four games. It all comes down to this.

1️⃣ The No. 1 seed is still up for grabs: The league-leading Montréal Victoire have a one-point edge over the Boston Fleet, the only other team that can clinch the top playoff spot. And earning the No. 1 spot offers a major advantage: that squad gets to choose their semis opponent. That said, the No. 1 seed notably has lost to their chosen opponent the last two PWHL postseasons. The drama.
