But let’s not forget the several squandered chances to clinch a spot last season, or the struggles holding a lead in third periods.

Parity in the PWHL is real, and the margins are so thin between all six (soon to be eight) teams. Ottawa, Minnesota and Boston all finished the season tied in points, with the Fleet missing the playoffs on a tie-breaker. Getting something as small as a goal from a third liner — or as big as having a superstar goalie waiting in the wings — could be the difference between making the Finals or missing the playoffs altogether.
