TORONTO — Kristen Campbell made 30 saves in front of a women's hockey-record crowd of 19,285 fans at Scotiabank Arena, helping Toronto beat Montreal 3-0 on Friday night in the Professional Women's Hockey League. "The Battle on Bay Street" broke the attendance record of 18,013 set at the 2013 world championships in Ottawa, Ontario, for a preliminary round game between Canada and Finland. Minnesota set the previous PWHL mark of 13,316 for its home opener against Montreal on Jan. 6 at Xcel Energy Center. Jesse Compher, Hannah Miller and Victoria Bach — into an empty net — scored in the third period to help Toronto win its fourth straight. Ann-Renee Desbiens stopped 21 shots for Montreal.
