Kristen Campbell posted her second shutout of the series
Another packed house at Coca-Cola Coliseum was holding its breath for nearly 59 minutes on Friday night.
Yet, with just 1:25 to play in regulation, Toronto’s Renata Fast ripped a shot from the right point that deflected off Jesse Compher and in to break the deadlock.“I honestly didn’t see much,” Compher said. Just try to go to the net as hard as possible. I think we’ve talked about this all year—getting in front of goalies, taking their eyes away creates chaos, and hopefully, good things come from that, and that’s what we experienced there.
Campbell posted her second shutout of the series, having turned away all 46 shots she has faced in the series. The 26-year-old netminder has steadily grown into a fan favorite as the season has wore on, as another sell-out crowd of 8,581 yelled “Soup” after nearly every save made once again. Minnesota had a couple of glorious chances to strike first in the third, as they had two power plays, including one with Jocelyne Larocque in the box. However, big saves by Campbell and excellent work by Toronto’s penalty kill kept their opponent off the board.
