The host Inferno rallied Sunday with four unanswered goals in the third period at WinSport to defeat the Boston Blades 4-3. That came a day after scoring a 6-2 win over the same Blades squad on home ice on a night at WinSport that saw the Inferno sport rainbow jerseys in support of You Can Play, a non-profit organization dedicated to the inclusion of all players regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

The victories give the Inferno 38 points on the season, tying them for first place in the standings with Les Canadiennes de Montreal, who lost earlier Sunday to China’s Vanke Rays. The Calgary crew is now three points clear of the second-place Kunlun Red Star, China’s other club, on the CWHL season.

“I’m very happy with the girls — we knew what we were up against in the third period, and we came through,” said Inferno blueliner Katelyn Gosling, who netted the game-winner. “We felt like we had a good game. Boston had a really good game. so it was a hard battle. We just kept doing what we were doing in the first and second (periods), and it worked in the third.”
