She had a goal and an assist in a 3-1 win over Toronto on Feb. 25 and repeated that scoring line, including the game winner, in a 3-2 overtime victory over Boston on Saturday.

The Victoire increased their lead in the league standings to seven points over Toronto heading into a game Tuesday night against visiting Minnesota.

Hughes had two goals and an assist in Ottawa’s 5-4 overtime win over New York on Wednesday to earn second-star honours.

Tabin had a career-best two goals, and a season-high five shots on net in Montreal’s win over Boston at the Bell Centre.
