Star forward Sarah Nurse hits long-term injured reserve as the Goldeneyes adjust their roster and look ahead to their next home game.
A Tough Break for a Bright Start
And the Vancouver Goldeneyes felt a sharp jolt this week. So star forward Sarah Nurse moved to long-term injured reserve after an upper-body injury. And that injury came right after she lit up the ice on Nov. 21. Then she scored the very first goal in Goldeneyes history. Also that debut came in a loud, sold-out home opener.
How the Timeline Shifted
But the momentum paused fast. So Nurse missed three straight games. Then on Saturday, the team said her reserve status would roll back to Nov. 21. And this shift gives Vancouver roster room as they move ahead.
Who Steps In Now
Next, forward Malia Schneider slid in from the reserve list. And she signed a full PWHL Standard Player Agreement. So the Goldeneyes patched the gap quickly. Then they turned their eyes to the next matchup.
What Comes Next for Vancouver
Meanwhile, Vancouver plays again at home on Dec. 6 at 12 p.m. PT. And the New York Sirens skate into the Pacific Coliseum. So fans still get a big clash even with Nurse out.
A Bigger PWHL Picture
Also the PWHL kicked off its third season on Nov. 21. And it now runs with eight teams. So the original six—Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Minnesota, Boston, and New York—stay in the mix. Then new teams Vancouver and Seattle join the push.
Where Fans Can Watch
Furthermore, fans in Canada get games almost every night. So Tuesday games stream on Prime Video. Then Wednesday games run on TSN. And Thursday nights land on TSN and Sportsnet. Also Friday through Sunday games air on CBC, TSN, and Sportsnet.
