As big celebrations go, Frost rookie Katy Knoll’s leap toward the heavens was a modest one after her triple-overtime goal beat Ottawa 2-1 on Saturday afternoon — and night — before 8,098 delighted fans at Xcel Energy Center.

The Frost won the PWHL’s inaugural Walter Cup last season, and is 3-0 in playoff series so far. But Minnesota has never clinched a playoff series at home. Winning it all again in front of Frost fans, Heise said, would be “a life-changing experience.”

The defending PWHL champions defeated the Ottawa Charge 2-1 in triple overtime to take a 2-1 series lead in Game 3 of the 2025 PWHL Finals at Xcel Energy Center.
