Taylor Heise dreams of capturing the Walter Cup at home after a thrilling triple-overtime victory in Game 3 of the PWHL Finals. The Minnesota Frost's momentum continued as they edged the Ottawa Charge 2-1 in a nail-biting Game 4, securing the championship on home ice. The match featured standout performances from goaltenders Maddie Rooney and rookie Gwyneth Philips, who collectively made 64 saves. Kelly Pannek scored the opening goal for Minnesota, while Tereza Vanišová's tying goal for Ottawa set the stage for a dramatic overtime.

Ultimately, Liz Schepers provided the game-winning goal, marking her second Walter Cup-winning goal. Rooney made 33 saves, completing an undefeated playoff record, while Philips demonstrated resilience despite the loss. Minnesota's victory was a testament to their tenacity and strategy, highlighting the importance of home-ice advantage in high-stakes games.

The PWHL Finals continue to deliver intense action as the Minnesota Frost edged the Ottawa Charge 2-1 in a grueling triple overtime battle, thanks to rookie Katy Knoll's game-winning goal. Goalie Maddie Rooney’s 35 saves secured her playoff undefeated streak, while Ottawa’s Gwyneth Philips stood strong with 45 saves, despite her team struggling to capitalize on scoring opportunities.

Defender Lee Stecklein’s equalizer was pivotal, showcasing Minnesota's defensive prowess and offensive depth, as the Frost's top four defensemen have collectively been a scoring force. However, Ottawa's Emily Clark made her mark, scoring the opening goal and leading her team with three goals in the playoffs. As the series approaches its climax, special teams' performance will be crucial; both teams have struggled to convert power plays, with Ottawa's being particularly ineffective. With the Frost poised to secure back-to-back titles at home, the anticipation builds for Game 4.

The PWHL Finals between the Minnesota Frost and Ottawa Charge has intensified after Minnesota's thrilling 2-1 overtime victory, equalizing the series at 1-1. Veteran defender Jocelyne Larocque looked to have clinched the game with a late third-period goal, only for Britta Curl-Salemme to equalize with just 16 seconds left. Curl-Salemme then secured her team’s victory 16:24 into overtime. Maddie Rooney showcased her skills, making 37 saves and earning her third playoff win.

Both teams have engaged in a tightly contested battle, with low scores and strong defensive displays leading to two overtime games in the series. Despite Ottawa having more shots on goal, Minnesota's structure and goalkeeping keep them competitive. The lack of scoring from the Frost's top line raises questions about their performance moving forward. With game three set for Minnesota, the stage is set for another dramatic showdown.
