Bet on the PWHL Championship

Minnesota

In a twist of fate, Sophie Jaques, who started the season with Boston and failed to score, turned the tables on her former team by netting two goals in Minnesota’s decisive 3-0 victory in Game 2. This win evened out the best-of-five championship series to 1-1.

Michela Cava struck first for Minnesota, while Liz Schepers continued her impressive playoff run with a fourth assist. Netminder Nicole Hensley, back in action after a tough postseason start, redeemed herself by stopping all 20 shots she faced, securing a shutout victory on the road.

Boston

On the other side, Boston’s goalie Aerin Frankel faced a setback, allowing two goals from 22 shots, breaking her streak of four consecutive playoff wins. Despite strong performances from captain Hilary Knight and forward Alina Muller, they couldn’t find the back of the net.

The series now shifts back to Minnesota’s Xcel Energy Center—a fortress where they didn’t allow a single goal against Toronto in their semifinal series. After facing elimination, Minnesota had rallied to win both home games against Toronto before clinching the series on the road, advancing to the finals.

Boston had a smoother path in their semifinals, winning both road games against Montreal and completing the sweep at home to secure their spot in the championship series. Boston had the upper hand during the regular season, winning two of three games in Minnesota.
