TORONTO (AP) --- Lee Stecklein had two goals and an assist to help the
Minnesota Frost beat the Toronto Sceptres 5-3 on Friday night in Game 2 of
their first-round playoff series.
Sophie Jacques, who hails from Toronto, snapped a 3-3 tie when she beat
Sceptres goalie Kristin Campbell off the rush with 6:13 left to play. Mellissa
Channell-Watkins added a power-play goal with 71 seconds remaining.
The Frost bounced back nicely after losing 3-2 in Game 1 on Wednesday night.
Game 3 of the best-of-five PWHL semifinal series is at Minnesota on Sunday
night.
Michela Cava also scored for the defending champion Frost. Maddie Rooney made
27 saves.
Hayley Scamurra, Savanah Harmon and Allie Munroe scored for the Sceptres.
Campbell stopped 20 shots.
The Sceptres grabbed a 1-0 lead on Scamurra's shot from the side boards that
deflected off Channell-Watkins in the first period.
Minnesota roared back with three goals to begin the second period, including a
power-play marker from Stecklein. But the Sceptres tied the game on late-period
goals from Harmon on the power play and Munroe from a bad angle on the next
shift.
Takeaways Frost: The PWHL handed forward Britta Curl-Salemme a one-game suspension for her second-period head check on Toronto defender Renata Fast. Sceptres: Coach Troy Ryan added rookie defender Rylind MacKinnon in favor of forward Laura Kluge.
