Heise finished tied for the lead in playoff scoring with eight points in 10 games.
The first-ever player drafted into the Professional Women’s Hockey League was named the best postseason performer in the league’s first year.
After Minnesota beat Boston in Game 5 of the PWHL final, becoming the first team to win the Walter Cup, forward Taylor Heise was honored by winning the first Ilana Kloss Playoff MVP Award.Heise was a big-time player for Minnesota during the playoffs, which was expected after the former Minnesota Golden Gopher was taken by the team first overall in the inaugural PWHL Draft.
The 2022 Patty Kazmaier Award winner finished tied for first in postseason scoring, with eight, as she and Cava each registered eight points. Heise’s two best games of the playoffs game in back-to-back games. She scored two goals in Game 5 of the semifinals to help Minnesota upset Toronto, before scoring two goals and an assist in Game 1 against Boston.
Heise was solid during the regular season. She started off by scoring five points over the first five games. However, the injury she suffered in Game 7 of the Rivalry Series forced her to miss five games, and while she scored five points in her first three games back, Heise registered just two assists in the last six games heading into the postseason. She ended up notching four goals and 13 points in 19 games.
