Ann-Rene Desbiens earns 5th shutout and the Victoire beat the Frost 3-0 to
sweep season series
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) --- Hayley Scamurra and Lina Ljungblom each scored their
third goal of the season, Ann-Rene Desbiens earned her fifth shutout, and the
Montral Victoire beat the Minnesota Frost 3-0 on Wednesday night to sweep the
season series.
Montral (11-4-2-5) has earned points in 10 straight games (6-2-2-0), a streak
that began with an overtime win at Minnesota on Jan. 21. It's the longest such
streak in PWHL history since Toronto's 11 in 2024.
Catherine Dubois scored her second goal of the season to open the scoring with
40.7 seconds left in the second period. Dubois took advantage of a Minnesota
turnover with a quick one-timer.
Scamurra made it 2-0 early in the third when she controlled a loose puck in
front of the net and tucked it around goaltender Maddie Rooney.
Ljungblom matched her goal total from a year ago to help Montral improve to
9-2-1-1 when scoring at least three goals this season.
Minnesota (11-3-3-5) is 7-2-0-0 since Jan. 4 when facing any team other than
Montral. The Frost are 0-0-2-2 against Montral in that span, scoring two or
fewer goals in each game.
Rooney had won her previous seven straight for the Frost.
Up next
Montral travels to Detroit to play the New York Sirens on Saturday as part of
the Takeover Tour.
Minnesota remains home to play the Boston Fleet on Sunday.
