Hilary Knight was the hero in Detroit yesterday, scoring Boston’s lone goal and notching the shootout winner to power her team past Ottawa by a final of 2-1. Boston now sits fourth in the standings, one point ahead of Ottawa.

This game also broke the U.S. attendance record for a professional women’s hockey game. 13,736 fans showed up and brought incredible energy, passing the previous record of 13,316, which was set by the PWHL Minnesota back on January 6 as they faced off against Montréal.
