"Heading into the second half of the PWHL season, the New York Sirens were in control of the fourth and final playoff spot up for grabs. If they get the job done and secure fourth place or better, it would mark the franchise's first-ever appearance in the PWHL Playoffs. But even before a humbling 4-1 defeat to the Montreal Victoire to restart league action, the Sirens' hold on that spot is, at best, slim."
"Just five points separates New York in fourth from Vancouver in sixth, but with their loss to Montreal, New York has given all three of the teams immediately behind them (Ottawa, Toronto, and Vancouver) a game in hand to make up part of their deficit."
The PWHL's second half began with Montreal defeating New York 4-1. Boston and Montreal lead the standings with thirty points, while Minnesota trails by two. New York holds fourth place but only marginally ahead of Ottawa. The Sirens' grip on the final playoff spot remains precarious, with just five points separating fourth from sixth place. Ottawa, Toronto, and Vancouver all have games in hand to close the gap. New York's first-ever playoff appearance is uncertain despite their current positioning, as multiple teams threaten to overtake them in the remaining regular season games.
