She led the team with a +4 rating and eight shots, scoring one goal in each period, including the eventual game-winner - 5:05 into the second. She finished off the game by providing the primary assist on the team's fourth goal. The multi-point game was her fifth of the year and she now has six points (4 goals, 2 assists) over the last two contests.
