Hilary Knight wasn’t surprised that Saturday’s women’s hockey game between the New York Sirens and Seattle Torrent at Madison Square Garden was sold out. She also hopes it isn’t the last time the PWHL is at the World’s Most Famous Arena.
A sold-out crowd of 18,006 fans shook the Garden as the Sirens defeated the Torrent 2-1 in a shootout, on a night when the final score was just a part of the story.

Sarah Fillier scored late in the third to tie the game, and Maja Nylén Persson scored the game-winning goal in the shootout.
