NEWARK, NJ (January 16, 2026) – The Minnesota Frost secured a 3-2 overtime victory in their first meeting of the season against the New York Sirens on Friday night at Prudential Center. The Frost offense was powered entirely by U.S. Olympians, including the overtime goal by Kendall Coyne Schofield on a play where Taylor Heise faked a shot and passed to the captain who buried the 2-on-1 feed to end the Sirens’ record four-game winning streak. Minnesota opened the scoring when Britta Curl-Salemme capitalized in front of the net at 8:55 of the first period off a Heise pass. Sirens rookie Casey O’Brien tied the game at 1-1 with a shorthanded ‘jailbreak’ goal on a breakaway at 16:24 to close out the first. The Frost responded early in the second period with a Kelly Pannek goal from Grace Zumwinkle and Coyne Schofield just 35 seconds after puck drop. Taylor Girard tied the game for the Sirens at 4:04 of the middle frame to end the scoring in regulation. After neither team could take advantage in a back-and-forth scoreless third, the teams headed to overtime where Coyne Schofield ended the game just 52 seconds into the extra frame. Nicole Hensley produced a strong performance with 24 saves in her return to the Minnesota crease for the first time since Dec. 30 after missing time due to illness. Kayle Osborne stopped 23 of 26 shots for New York, continuing her streak as the team’s only goaltender to appear in a game this season.
New York heads to Washington, D.C. for this Sunday’s Takeover Tour at Capital One Arena where they will face off against the Montréal Victoire at 2 p.m. ET in a matchup between two teams tied for third place in the standings. Minnesota, who stands alone in second place, returns to Grand Casino Arena for their first contest in a three-game homestand against Montréal on Wednesday.
