ST. PAUL, MN (December 19, 2025) – The Minnesota Frost snapped the Boston’s Fleet’s five-game winning streak and handed them their first loss of the season with a 5-2 win at Grand Casino Arena on Friday night. The Frost matched their season-high in goals scored, with five different skaters lighting the lamp to move into second place in the PWHL standings. Captain Kendall Coyne Schofield opened scoring for the Frost for the third time this season, 6:47 into the first, with Dominique Petrie doubling the lead at 12:37. In the second period, Britta Curl-Salemme poked the puck in the net for the first time this season to bring Minnesota’s lead to three. Two former Buckeye rookies cut into the Frost’s deficit in the third period with their first professional goals just 24 seconds apart with Olivia Mobley scoring at 9:01 and Riley Brengman bringing the Fleet within a goal at 9:25. With Aerin Frankel – the league’s leading netminder – pulled in the third period, Katy Knoll and Kelly Pannek potted empty-netters to seal the Frost’s victory and even the Boston-Minnesota season series at one a piece. Nicole Hensley stood tall in the Frost crease with 27 saves for her third straight win.
Minnesota looks to bring its momentum next door to Illinois on Sunday, hosting Ottawa for the second stop on the PWHL Takeover Tour™ in Chicago, while Boston makes their first West Coast trip of the season, visiting Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena on Sunday.
