Minnesota Frost beaten by Montreal Victoire to a 4-2
The Minnesota Frost suffered their first road regulation loss of the season Friday night at the hands of the Montreal Victoire with a final score of 4-2.
Victoire forward Abby Boreen scored twice in Friday’s matchup.
Claire Dalton and captain Marie-Philip Poulin, on a five-on-three power play, also scored for Montreal, playing its first home game since Dec. 30.
Montreal’s Ann-Renée Desbiens made 21 saves.
Kendall Coyne Schofield and Claire Thompson scored for the Frost. Minnesota had won its first three games away from home, before dropping a 3-2 shootout decision on Wednesday to the New York Sirens.
Nicole Hensley stopped 20 shots for the Frost.
The win moved Montreal one point back of Minnesota for first in the PWHL standings, with the Victoire holding two games in hand. The Frost beat the Victoire 4-2 on Sunday in Denver as part of the PWHL’s Takeover Tour.
The Victoire were without forward Laura Stacey, who is listed as day-to-day after suffering an injury last weekend.
Montreal scored two power-play goals in the same game for the first time since Nov. 30.
Minnesota leads the PWHL in total goals with 36 but could only beat Desbiens twice.
Boreen, playing top-line minutes in place of the injured Stacey, took a cross-ice pass from linemate Jennifer Gardiner to open the scoring for Montreal about eight minutes into the first period.
Poulin has recorded at least one point in all three games she has played against Minnesota this season. The Victoire captain has scored three goals and collected three assists in a four-game point streak against the Frost dating to last season, her longest such stretch against any opponent in her PWHL career.
The Frost host the Charge on Tuesday.
See how the bald eagle’s story shows its enduring symbolism
As the U.S. celebrates 250 years, the bald eagle endures as North America’s native sea eagle and national bird.
The common loon, Minnesota’s state bird, is more closely related to a penguin than a duck.
Despite loons predominantly living in the northern hemisphere and penguins mostly living in the southern hemisphere, researchers consider them to be genetic cousins. Taxonomic analyses placed them in an evolutionary cluster tracing back 40 million to 50 million years ago, along with herons and pelicans.
While loons and ducks share habitat on Minnesota lakes, they aren’t close relatives. Ducks are closer cousins to geese and swans.
After sharing a common ancestor, penguins and loons developed distinct characteristics. Loons can fly, but struggle to move on land; penguins can’t fly, but waddle on land. Penguins use flipper-like wings to swim; loons use webbed feet for underwater propulsion.
They have some similar features, however, including dense bones to help dive underwater and their tuxedo coloring.

Fires in the past burned more frequently in western Canada, but recent years have seen that trend migrate eastward, with large fires now burning in Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic provinces, Prof Chasmer said, leading to more noticeable smoke in densely populated cities like Toronto and New York.
