With Sunday's win, the Sceptres have gained points in the standings in ten straight games and have won six straight. 

Here are three takeaways from the Sceptres win in the state of hockey

Depth Scoring Leads The Way

The Toronto Sceptres’ biggest strength this season has been their ability to get contributions from every part of the lineup and against Minnesota that was no different. 

Emma Maltais, who was off to a slow start this season, found her footing offensively in 2025. She kept that trend going Sunday as on the power play as Matlais  found room in the slot and rifled a shot over the far shoulder of Maddie Rooney tying the game 1-1.

The goal is Maltais' second in her last four games for the Sceptres. She has only scored three goals on the season to date.

One of the main contributors for the Sceptres has been Jesse Compher, who continues to have a strong Sophomore season. On Sunday she scored the game-winning goal with a shoot at a wide-open net from the slot 

This is her seventh goal of the season, showing that Toronto’s players up and down the lineup have been able to make an impact offensively. 

Campbell Continues To Hold The Fort

Kristen Campbell continues to play a role for the Toronto Sceptres. The 2-1 win was her third straight game in which she allowed only one goal while in the crease. 

Campbell had to make key saves from the drop of the puck as just over a minute into the first period as the Frost’s Dominique Petrie powered her way to the front of the net forcing Campbell to make the save.

Campbell stopped 22 of the 23 shots she faced in the win, boosting her save percentage to .902 on the season. 

With Campbell coming back to her usual form, expect to see Troy Ryan continue to go with the veteran as Toronto tries to climb to the top of the standings. 

Defense Continues To Dominate 

Despite the increased scoring for the Sceptres, it has been the defensive play that has allowed them to catch fire. 

In their last 10 games, they have held their opponents to under 30 shots a game in regulation. 

On top of this, Toronto's ability to move the puck up the ice has improved since Savannah Harmon joined the Sceptres and Megan Carter came off of LTIR. 

This has meant the Sceptres have spent shorter durations of time in their zone allowing fewer offensive chances against them. Against Minnesota these keys to the Sceptres' game allowed them to hold them to just 23 shots and one goal.
