Hannah Miller added two goals and two assists for the Goldeneyes, including a game-tying goal with 1.6 seconds left in regulation to force overtime. Emerance Maschmeyer had 21 saves.

Vancouver (9-1-4-14), which needed to win in regulation, was eliminated from playoff contention.

The Torrent (7-1-3-17) have lost six in a row, most recently a 4-1 loss at Vancouver that eliminated Seattle from playoff contention.

Anna Wilgren scored her first two goals this season and added an assist for Seattle. Cayla Barnes, Hilary Knight and Danielle Serdachny each scored a goal.

Gardiner — who went into the game with nine career goals, four this season — had their first multi-goal game in the PWHL.
