Montreal won its third straight while handing Minnesota its first regulation loss of the season
Montreal Victoire's Marie-Philip Poulin celebrates her goal with teammates during second period PWHL hockey action against the Ottawa Charge in Ottawa on Friday, Dec. 6.Mariah Keopple and Alexandra Labelle scored their first goals of the season and the Montreal Victoire edged the Minnesota Frost 3-2 on Saturday.
Marie-Philip Poulin’s goal almost six minutes into the second period was the difference as she converted a 2-on-1 from Laura Stacey and Jennifer Gardiner, and Montreal , which went 0 for 3 on the power play, won its third straight while handing Minnesota its first regulation loss of the season. Despite having the better control of the action from the start, Montreal fell behind 1-0 near the middle of the first period when Claire Thompson and Taylor Heise set up Britta Curl-Salemme for her third goal of the season.
But in the last five minutes of the period Keopple scored on a pass from Claire Dalton, and Labelle banged in a rebound of her initial shot. Minnesota pulled into a tie at just 3:17 into the second period when Brooke McQuigge picked up her first goal during a scramble in front of the Montreal goal. Barely 2 1/2 minutes later the Victoire were back on top on Poulin’s second goal of the season and Ann-Renee Desbiens, who made 22 saves, made that stand up.
