The Minnesota Frost avoided elimination with a 3-1 comeback win against the Montreal Victoire on Friday night in Game 4 of the PWHL’s semifinals.
Montreal forward Maureen Murphy opened the scoring 41 minutes into another tight contest. But defender Sidney Morin had other plans, scoring two goals in under four minutes to help the Frost force a decided Game 5 back in Montreal. Kelly Pannek, the league’s leading scorer of the regular season, scored with the net empty to seal the win.
Morin’s second goal of the night – scored on the power play after Laura Stacey was called for roughing – would prove to be the game-winner. Maddie Rooney, playing on back-to-back nights, was stellar again making 29 saves on 30 shots.
The Minnesota Frost are now 5-0 when facing elimination in the playoffs.
