Today the Professional Women’s Hockey League announced their Player of the Week for the week of March 30th through April 5th.
Sarah Fillier (F – NYS)
- New York’s Sarah Fillier scored four goals on eight shots in two games last week, both Sirens wins, and has been named PWHL Player of the Week presented by SharkNinja. The Sirens alternate captain scored her first career hat trick on Wednesday to lead New York to a 4-3 overtime win against Minnesota, then scored the game-tying goal in regulation and added her first career shootout goal in Saturday’s 2-1 win over Seattle. With her hat trick, the 25-year-old from Georgetown, ON, set a PWHL record for the fastest two goals by the same player, tallying twice in 14 seconds. Of the 17 hat tricks in PWHL history, including four this season, hers was the first to include an overtime winning goal. Fillier has eight goals in her last seven contests and is the fifth player to record 20 points this season (9G, 11A) across 24 games. One shy of 50 career points (22G, 27A), she is also just the third player in history to record 20 points in each of her first two PWHL seasons, joining Montréal’s Marie-Philip Poulin and Seattle’s Alex Carpenter who achieved the feat with New York.
