New York Sirens Rally Late to Edge Minnesota Frost in Shootout Thriller

Newark: Rookie Sarah Fillier was the star of the night, scoring a crucial goal with just over a minute left to tie the game at 2-2. Jessie Eldridge then took the spotlight in the shootout, scoring twice to secure the win for the New York Sirens against the Minnesota Frost.

With just over three minutes left in the third period, New York pulled goalie Corinne Schroeder for an extra attacker. It paid off when Fillier found the net, sending the game into overtime.

Eldridge’s shootout skills shone as she sent a shot past Minnesota goalie Maddie Rooney. Meanwhile, Schroeder made a key save on Taylor Heise’s attempt, sealing the victory.

Eldridge had already made headlines earlier in the week with an overtime goal, marking her as a key player for New York this season.

Schroeder, who had an impressive streak of shutouts, saw it end when Kendall Coyne Schofield scored early in the second period.

Minnesota’s Mellissa Channell-Watkins also made her mark, scoring her first PWHL goal to give her team a brief lead.

The two teams will face off again on March 16 in Detroit, promising another exciting matchup.
