Katy Knoll scored a goal in the third overtime and Maddie Rooney finished with 35 saves to help the Minnesota Frost beat the Ottawa Charge 2-1 on Saturday night and take a 2-1 lead in the third straight overtime game of the PWHL championship series.
Ottawa's rise to a team that’s two wins away from winning the Walter Cup began with a trade deadline that many viewed as a head-scratcher.
The game itself was low-scoring, thanks to the play of Charge netminder Gwyneth Philips and Frost goaltender Nicole Hensley. Goals from Ottawa’s Rebecca Leslie and Minnesota’s Klara Hymlarova were all either side could muster up in regulation.
And yet, that’s exactly where Ottawa Charge defender Jocelyne Larocque stands. Through five gruelling postseason games — including a marathon quadruple-overtime loss to Montreal in Game 2 — the 37-year-old has logged over two-and-a-half hours of ice time.
