Roque opened the scoring at 3:49 of the second period on a deflection off Ottawa defender Rory Guilday’s stick. On a break with scoring star Marie-Philip Poulin, Roque went deep into the right corner and swept the puck to the middle, where it glanced off Guilday’s stick and past goalie Gwyneth Philips.
