Emma Woods’ goal with 59 seconds remaining in overtime helped New York hand Minnesota their first Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) loss on Sunday, 3-2 at the Xcel Center in Minnesota before nearly 8,000 fans.
Minnesota’s best opportunity in the extra frame came by way of a Grace Zumwinkle penalty shot after the forward was taken down on a breakaway by New York defender Brooke Hobson, but the attempt went high and wide to keep the game tied.
Goaltender Corinne Schroeder turned aside all four Minnesota shots on net in overtime, while New York (2-2) was able to capitalize on their lone shot in the frame. Woods scored her second goal of the season, at the 4:01 mark, after a neutral zone turnover led to a one-on-one rush and ended with a wrister deflecting off the defender’s stick and over goaltender Maddie Rooney’s shoulder.
Defender Ella Shelton collected her third assist of the game on the winning-goal to take over the league’s scoring lead, while Jade Downie-Landry picked up the secondary assist, her second helper of the season.
Minnesota (3-1) had a strong first period, outshooting New York 11-6 while scoring two goals in the frame.
At 7:14, defender Lee Stecklein scored her first goal of the season off a shot from the point as Michela Cava recorded her first PWHL point with the assist.
The home team added to its lead at 11:22 when alternate captain Kelly Pannek picked up her first PWHL goal. Susanna Tapani picked up her third assist of the season on the goal.
An Abby Cook penalty allowed New York to cut the deficit in half at 14:23 of the second period when, on the powerplay, Carpenter tapped the puck home off a backdoor feed from Shelton.
In the third period, New York once again capitalized on the powerplay when Jessie Eldridge tapped the puck into the net at 10:49—just 13 seconds into the advantage—tying the game 2-2. The overtime was the first of the season for both teams.
Schroeder made 39 saves to secure the win, her second of the season. Rooney turned aside 26 shots and now has one win and one overtime loss on the season.

MyPillow’s Mike Lindell announces he’s running for Minnesota governor as a Republican
MyPillow founder and CEO Mike Lindell has announced he will run for Minnesota governor in 2026 against incumbent Gov. Tim Walz.
Lindell, 64, last week filed the paperwork to potentially run, but at the time said he hadn’t yet 100% decided on a gubernatorial run. On Thursday, he made it official.
“After prayerful consideration and hearing from so many of you across our great state, I’ve made the decision to enter the 2026 gubernatorial race,” Lindell posted on social media Thursday. “I’m still standing and I’ll stand for you.”
Lindell will run as a Republican and a noted ally of President Trump, and enters a crowded field of names who have already tossed their hats into the ring, as Walz, a Democrat, attempts to secure an unprecedented third consecutive four-year term as Minnesota’s governor.
“We’ve seen what happens when we elect a con man to the highest office in America,” Walz said Thursday, responding to Lindell’s announcement. “We can’t let it happen here in Minnesota.”
In addition to Lindell, state House Republican speaker Lisa Demuth has already announced a run for governor, as well as Scott Jensen, the Republican candidate who lost to Walz in the 2022 midterms. Other Republican hopefuls include Minnesota Rep. Kristin Robbins, Kendall Qualls and defense lawyer Chris Madel.
Lindell launched a campaign website, listing his main campaign priorities as including stopping fraud, fixing “failing school systems,” stopping “exploding property taxes” and “send(ing) illegal immigrants back.”
Lindell’s MyPillow has been at the center of a number of legal issues through the years, and earlier this year was ordered to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to shipping company DHL.
Also, a judge this year ruled that Lindell defamed election technology company Smartmatic after he alleged their voting machines rigged the 2020 presidential election in favor of former President Joe Biden. Lindell made similar unfounded claims against Dominion Voting Systems.
Minnesota has a history of political outsiders overperforming in statewide races, most notably former Gov. Jesse Ventura’s surprising win in 1998, but also it’s been two decades since a Republican won a statewide race in the increasingly blue-tilting state.
