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.

A 29-year-old man drowned at a lake in northern Minnesota on Saturday, according to the sheriff’s office.

First responders arrived at the scene to try and rescue him, but he was pronounced dead, according to the sheriff’s office.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with the victim’s family and friends during this incredibly difficult time,” the sheriff’s office said.

If Nolan Teasley is the “primary football executive” in Minnesota, Seahawks will get compensatory picks
The hiring of Seahawks assistant G.M. Nolan Teasley as the Vikings’ new G.M. will carry a specific benefit for his former team.
Per the league, Teasley qualifies as a diverse candidate under the NFL provision that gives the former team of a newly-hired G.M. or head coach a pair of third-round compensatory draft picks.
The only question is whether Teasley will be Minnesota’s “primary football executive.” That requirement prevented the Bears from receiving the compensatory draft picks when assistant General Manager Ian Cunningham was hired to be the Falcons G.M. The league decided that president of football Matt Ryan is the “primary football executive” in Atlanta.
The Bears appealed the decision to the league, and Bears fans continue to be mystified by the outcome — especially since Ryan has made it clear that Cunningham is a General Manager “in every facet of the word.”
Minnesota has no similar position to Ryan’s job with the Falcons. The only alternative to Teasley would be coach Kevin O’Connell. But there has been no indication that, moving forward, O’Connell will emerge as the top football executive for the Vikings, with full control over the roster and the draft.
The NFL’s full collection of diversity of initiatives have recently come under attack by Florida’s attorney general. The Seahawks getting two extra third-round draft picks undoubtedly will spark a reaction from those who, in the current climate, attack efforts aimed at enhancing diversity, equity, and inclusion.
