VANCOUVER - Sarah Nurse scored twice and Tereza Vanisova added a goal and an assist as the Vancouver Goldeneyes defeated the Toronto Sceptres 5-0 Thursday night for their first PWHL home win of 2026.
Nurse and Vanisova scored unassisted goals 11 seconds apart as the Goldeneyes broke the game open with three goals in the second period.
Izzy Daniel and Abigail Boreen also scored for Vancouver (4-1-2-7).
Goaltender Kristen Campbell stopped 24 shots for her first shutout of the season against her former team.
Elaine Chuli made 23 saves for Toronto (4-1-3-7), which has lost six of its last seven games.
Daniel scored early in the second period off a nice give-and-go with Jenn Garnder. Chuli stopped the first shot but the puck rebounded in off Daniel for her third goal of the year.
Vanisova made it 2-0 at 13:31 when she scored her first goal of the season on a wraparound. On the following faceoff Nurse ripped a shot over Chuli’s glove from the faceoff circle.
Nurse thrilled the crowd of 14,006 at the Pacific Coliseum when she fired a hard shot past Chuli early in the third.
The game was a rematch of the Sceptres' 2-1 overtime win against the Goldeneyes on Saturday in Toronto.
