Going into their 2017-18 regular season finale, Les Canadiennes de Montreal needed just one point to solidify the top spot in the Canadian Women’s Hockey League. Montreal edged out the Calgary Inferno 3-2 in front of a second straight sold out Complexe Sportif Bell to clinch the Chairman's Trophy as regular season champions for the second time in three years.
The game featured a couple of pivotal line changes as Olympians past and present Hilary Knight and Caroline Ouellette drew into the lineup, with Lore Baudrit and Erinn Noseworthy ceding their spots. Ouellette missed Saturday's game as she was in The Pas, Manitoba for the Good Deeds Cup.
