- The PWHL announced decisions made by the PWHL Player Safety Committee.
- First, the PWHL announced that New York Sirens defender Micah Zandee-Hart has been suspended for one game.

- In their review, the Player Safety Committee determined that Zandee-Hart delivered a high and forceful check that made her opponent’s head the main point of contact on a play where such head contact was avoidable.
- Zandee-Hart was previously fined $250 this season following a major penalty and game misconduct for cross-checking in a game on Nov. 22 against Ottawa.
- Then, the PWHL announced that they have fined Boston Fleet forward Ella Huber $250.
- The incident involving Huber occurred in Boston’s game on Saturday against the Montréal Victoire where she was assessed a minor penalty for cross-checking opponent Hayley Scamurra at 17:00 of the second period.
- In their review, the Player Safety Committee determined that Huber raised her stick with both arms, causing the shaft to strike her opponent in the head, with sufficient force to warrant supplemental discipline.

- First, the PWHL announced that New York Sirens defender Micah Zandee-Hart has been suspended for one game.
