SAINT PAUL, MN (February 23, 2025) – The Toronto Sceptres are riding a six-game win streak following a 2-1 victory over the Minnesota Frost on Sunday afternoon at the Xcel Energy Center. Michela Cava opened the scoring for Minnesota on the power play to give her team an early lead at the end of the opening frame. Mid-way through the second period, Toronto capitalized on the advantage resulting from a five-minute major penalty, as Emma Maltais found the back of the net for Toronto’s fourth consecutive conversion on the power play, spanning across their last two games. The game remained even heading into the final period, but Jesse Compher broke the deadlock seven minutes into the third to give the Sceptres their first lead of the game.
While Minnesota tried to find the equalizer in the game’s final minutes with an extra attacker on the ice, Toronto held on to secure the win on the road. Kristen Campbell earned her third straight win in net for the Sceptres, stopping 22 of 23 shots faced, and Frost goaltender Maddie Rooney turned aside 21 of 23 shots in her 13th start of the season. Entering the game, Toronto and Minnesota sat in a tie for second place with 29 points apiece––the Sceptres now pull three points ahead with today’s win and are now in sole possession of second place with 32 points, two points behind first-place Montréal. Minnesota slides down to third place, just one point ahead of fourth-place Boston.
