The game is the sixth PWHL game played at an NHL arena and is set to break the attendance record set by Toronto earlier this season.
Toronto currently sits at the top of the standings with 33 points after 17 games played. Montreal is in third with 30 points after 18 games.

New faces
Montreal announced on Wednesday that Ann-Sophie Bettez has been placed on the long-term injury reserve.
As a result, the team signed Toronto native Liliane Perreault and Brooke Stacey from Kahnawake on Montreal's South Shore to reserve contracts. The Kanien'kehá:ka (Mohawk) forward played last season with the Montreal Force in the Premier Hockey Federation (PHF), which disbanded and was replaced by the PWHL.
