Overview
- Montreal beat Minnesota 2-1 on Thursday in St. Paul to move ahead 2-1 in the best-of-five PWHL semifinal.
- After Sidney Morin scored 3:22 in for the Frost, Maggie Flaherty and Hayley Scamurra struck 24 seconds apart early in the second to flip the game.
- Ann-Renée Desbiens stopped 27 shots to backstop the win, which marked Montreal’s first road playoff victory in franchise history.
- Minnesota failed to score on multiple power plays, including a 6-on-4 in the final seconds, as Montreal’s penalty kill held firm.
- Game 4 is Friday in Minnesota, and a Montreal win would clinch a spot in the Walter Cup Final, the league’s title series, one day after a back-to-back that Taylor Heise called a challenge.
