This was Gosling’s 31st career shot on goal. She is in her rookie season with the Sceptres after being selected sixth in the first round of the 2024 PWHL draft. Gosling is now eighth in the rookie scoring chart, with four points (1G, 3A) in 15 games this season, the PWHL said.

“I think every game, I’ve been adjusting and learning from the coaches and the players around me.” Julia said via PWHL.com. “I think I’ve been getting comfortable every game, especially on that power play I had the confidence to go and shoot it, so I think it’s just been building.”

Toronto defeated the Ottawa Charge 4-2 in Saturday’s game to leapfrog them in the PWHL table. Sceptres captain Blayre Turnbull had three points (two goals and one assist) on the night.

Ottawa's Emily Clark scored early in the second period, but Turnbull netted another goal to put the Sceptres in the lead. Renata Fast scored a power-play goal, and the Sceptres led 3-1 when the third period started.

Turnbull scored her second goal of the night three minutes after the third period began to make the score 4-1. Ottawa could only manage a consolation goal before the game ended.
