PWHL Boston completed its sweep of Montreal with a 3-2 overtime win in Game 3 of the semifinals on Tuesday night.
Boston came back from a 2-0 deficit in the third period with goals by Sophie Shirley and Amanda Pelkey to force overtime. Susanna Tapani, who was acquired via trade with Minnesota in February, scored the game-winner just over one minute into the extra period.

Boston won four of its last five regular season games and clinched a spot in the postseason with a 4-3 win against Montreal in the team’s final game.
