Ottawa took an early 2-0 lead in the third when Hayley Scamurra created a turnover and found Adzija, who beat Schroeder five-hole for her team-leading fifth goal of the season.

Harmon made it 3-0 midway through the period. From down low, Daryl Watts saw Harmon coming through the slot to beat Schroeder high.

New York scored twice in a span of 44 seconds to make it a 3-2 game with 4:22 remaining before scoring a power-play goal to tie the game.

Roque got New York on the board at 14:54 when she cut behind Ottawa’s D and beat an outstretched Maschmeyer and Downie-Landry cut the lead to one. New York completed the comeback with Carpenter scoring a power-play goal off a cross-crease pass from Roque.

Leading 1-0 Ottawa had the better of the chances in the second period, but just couldn’t find a way to capitalize.

With 1:21 remaining in the period Ottawa appeared to take a 2-0 lead on a delayed penalty call when Watts scored, but it was ruled the whistle had been blown before the puck crossed the goal line.

Both teams had chances in the first but it was Ottawa who opened the scoring at 7:37.

Ottawa had just missed on a great chance but then Emily Clark found Tejralova at the blueline and fired a shot past Schroeder.

This was the first of four games between the two teams.
