The Boston Fleet are adding some scoring to the lineup for their playoff push.
The Fleet have acquired forward Jessie Eldridge from the Seattle Torrent for forward Theresa Schafzahl on Monday, the teams announced.
Eldridge, 28, has nine goals and 17 points for Seattle this season. She began her career with New York before joining Seattle during the expansion draft, and has previously represented Canada at the senior level.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Jessie Eldridge to the Boston Fleet,” GM Danielle Marmer said in a statement. “She has a high hockey IQ and is a dual threat, capable of making key plays and creating scoring opportunities. We’re excited about the offensive instincts and competitiveness she brings to our lineup."
Schafzahl was in her third year with Boston. She has two goals and six points this season.
The Fleet are first in the PWHL standings and looking for their first Walter Cup title. Seattle is in last place.
Both players will be free agents after the season. The PWHL trade deadline is on March 30.
