Frost win in OT

The backstory:

The Minnesota Frost took home their second-straight Walter Cup on Memorial Day in a thrilling overtime win in front of a crowd of 11,000 fans at the Xcel Energy Center.

The Frost took the lead over the Ottawa Charge in the second period with a one-timer goal by Kelly Pannek. Ottawa answered back midway through the third period. Tied 1-1, the game went into overtime, with Liz Schepers putting in the game-winning goal at the 12-minute mark.

Maddie Rooney made 33 saves for the Frost and set a playoff record for the PWHL with five postseason wins. But Charge rookie goaltender Gwyneth Philips won the Ilana Kloss Playoff MVP Award with a staggering .952 save percentage in the playoffs.
