DETROIT — Hannah Brandt and Hilary Knight each scored shootout goals and Aerin Frankel saved four of the five shots she faced as Boston beat Ottawa in a shootout, 2-1 in front of the largest crowd to watch a professional women's hockey game in the United States Saturday night in Detroit.
Montreal and Toronto hold the Canadian record when a sellout crowd of 19,285 watched the Battle on Bay Street between Toronto and Montreal at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto Feb. 16 and those teams meet Sunday in Pittsburgh on the home ice of the Penguins. Ottawa had two shots clang off the crossbar early in the game and Ottawa captain Brianne Jenner had an open shot over a sprawled Frankel clank off the upright in the final half-minute of overtime.
Ottawa's Emerance Maschmeyer and Frankel turned in brilliant work in goal. Both had 25 saves on 26 shots on goal.
