ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Defender Sidney Morin scored two goals in the third period, Kelly Pannek added an empty-netter with 1:07 left, and the Minnesota Frost beat the Montreal Victoire 3-1 on Friday night to force a winner-take-all Game 5 in the PWHL playoffs.
Minnesota improved to 5-0 in the playoffs when facing elimination, with the previous four coming in its 2024 Walter Cup run. The Frost are also 4-1 in Game 4 history.
Morin’s shot from near the blue line got past Ann-Renée Desbiens for the second game in a row to tie it at 1-all with 11:55 left in the third.
Then Minnesota scored a power-play goal for the first time since Game 1 to take a 2-1 lead. Morin’s fourth goal of the playoffs came from the top of the left faceoff circle with 7:59 left.
