DENVER (AP) --- Grace Zumwinkle scored two goals, Taylor Heise and Britta
Curl-Salemme added a goal apiece, and the Minnesota Frost beat the New York
Sirens 4-3 on Sunday at Ball Arena as part of the PWHL's Takeover Tour.
The Frost (9-3-3-4) have won three straight after being shut out, 4-0, at
Montreal in their first game back from the Olympic break.
Anna Bargman and Paetyn Levis scored goals for New York (8-0-3-9) a little more
than a minute apart in the third. Allyson Simpson added a goal about four
minutes later that made it 4-3 with 3:01 left in the game.
Zumwinkle darted along the left wall, cut in along the goal line and flicked a
shot behind goaltended Kayle Osborne that deflected off the crossbar and into
the net to give Minnesota a 1-0 lead just past the midway point in the first
period. Zumwinkle gave the Frost a 4-0 lead with 7:28 left in the second period.
Heise flicked a shot that deflected off Osborne's skate and slowly trickled
into the net 22 seconds into the second period before Curl-Salemme made it 3-0
eight minutes later with a one-timer off a pass from Kelly Pannek.
New York killed each of the Frost's four power plays and have killed 13
straight overall.
Casey O'Brien, who leads all rookies this season with 14 points and three
power-play goals, did not play (upper-body injury) for the Sirens. Taylor
Girard left the game in the second period due to an apparent knee injury.
The Sirens beat Ottawa 6-2 last time out to snap a six-game losing streak, the
last two losses coming after the Olympic break.
Minnesota, which also beat the Sirens 3-2 in overtime at the Prudential Center
on Jan. 16 and 6-2 at home Jan. 25, was 0-0-3-3 last season against New York.
Up next
Sirens: Play Wednesday at Vancouver in the second of a four-game road trip.
Frost: Hosts Ottawa on Wednesday.
