TORONTO — Taylor Heise scored twice, including the winner in the third period, as Minnesota downed Toronto 4-1 on Friday to win a best-of-five Professional Women's Hockey League semifinal 3-2.
Toronto was minus veteran star forward Natalie Spooner, who led the league in both goals and points in the regular season, after she suffered a season-ending knee injury in Game 3.The top pick in September's first-ever PWHL draft — which was held in Toronto — Heise snapped the winner past Campbell's glove on a power play at 8:30 of the third after Canadian national team defender Jocelyne Larocque was penalized for hooking.
Toronto, which picked its semifinal opponent under the PWHL's forward-thinking playoff format, got Friday's first power play — and seven of the first eight shots — but Minnesota came closest to scoring when Grace Zumwinkle's effort that leaked through Campbell was cleared to safety by defender Allie Munroe.
