The Professional Women's Hockey League kicks off its postseason on Thursday, April 30, with the No. 2 seed Boston Fleet traveling to the No. 4 Ottawa Charge.
Why is the No. 2 seed playing the No. 4 seed?
Because in the PWHL, the top seed earns the right to pick its opponent for the first round of the playoffs. The No. 1-seeded Montréal Victoire chose to play the two-time defending league champion Minnesota Frost , the No.
3 seed. The Victoire are in the playoffs for the third straight season, finishing first for a second consecutive year. This season, the Victoire won all four games in their head-to-head season series against the Frost (13-5-9), including two overtime victories.
