Les Canadiennes’ Sunday afternoon 5-3 loss to the Calgary Inferno wasn’t the emotional hangover you might have expected after playing to a 1-0 victory the day before in front of close to 6,000 fans at the Bell Centre.
Instead, Caroline Ouellette decided it was a good day to make history, becoming the first woman in CWHL history to reach 300 career points.
Bailey Bram had the opening marker for the Inferno, on a set up from Haley Irwin and Rebecca Johnston. Ouellette’s assist on an Ann-Sophie Bettez goal (that Marie-Philip Poulin also assisted on) in the second half of the first period caused the arena to erupt.
