SEATTLE (AP) --- Alex Carpenter and Gabrielle David scored nine seconds apart,
Anna Wilgren added a goal for her third in two games, and the Seattle Torrent
beat the Minnesota Frost 5-4 on Wednesday night for their first victory in the
series.
Seattle (8-1-4-16) secured three draft-order points to take the top spot in the
Gold Plan standings for a chance at the first overall pick in the PWHL entry
draft.
Minnesota (13-3-4-9), which had already clinched third place, had won the
previous three games against the Torrent in regulation by a total of 13-3.
Carpenter, who entered with at least one point against every PWHL team this
season except for Minnesota, knocked in a loose puck to tie it at 2-all in the
second and David sent a shot over goaltender Nicole Hensley.
Captain Hilary Knight gave Seattle the lead for good by finishing off Theresa
Schafzahl's nice pass 2:29 into the third.
Minnesota forward Kelly Pannek capped the scoring with 12.5 seconds left and
she became the first player in PWHL history to reach 30 points in a season.
Taylor Heise scored two goals for Minnesota and Grace Zumwinkle added another
as each player reached 13 goals this season.
Up next Minnesota plays at Vancouver on Saturday in a regular-season finale. Seattle plays its final game of the season on Saturday when it hosts Montreal. ___ AP women's hockey: https://apnews.com/hub/womens-hockey |
