VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Maddie Rooney stopped 19 shots to lead the Minnesota Frost to a 3-1 win over the Vancouver Goldeneyes on Saturday. Rooney entered the game with a 1. 98 goals-against average, the league’s fourth-best mark.
The Frost have won five straight and moved atop the PWHL standings, three points ahead of Boston and the Montreal Victoire. But the Fleet takes on Seattle later Saturday. Natalie Buchbinder’s first goal of the season with 5:58 remaining in the first period opened the scoring.
It came with six seconds remaining in the Frost’s first power play of the game. Minnesota made it 2-0 with 30 seconds left in the second, again, on the power play. Kelly Pannek scored her league-leading 12th goal of the season.
