    NWHL Game Recap – 10/19/2019 – Minnesota Whitecaps v. Boston Pride

    Minnesota Whitecaps (1-0-1 3pts) v. Boston Pride (3-0-0 6pts)

     

    Game Recap:

    Coming into the weekend the undefeated Boston Pride play host to the 2019 Isobel Cup Champion Minnesota Whitecaps, and in this highly anticipated matchup it would not disappoint as both teams would play a very even game against eachother early on as both teams would trade chances. However, it would be Alyssa Wohlfeiler breaking the scoreless tie with a beautiful shot that would beat Whitecaps goaltender Amanda Leveille to give the Pride the 1-0 lead. The rest of the period it would be Leveille and Lovisa Selander playing aggressively in their respective nets and keeping the game close as both teams generated quality scoring chances. At the end of the period Leveille would have stopped 12 out of 13 shots faced while Selander stopped at 14 shots she faced in the first.

     

    In the second period the physicality would pick up as this period would see a total of five penalties with three involving either roughing or body checking. However, when it came to the powerplay the Whitecaps were unable to convert on both of their opportunities, while the Pride woulkd not convert on their lone chance of the period. The Pride would strike once again as McKenna Brand would score her fifth of the season as Jillian Dempsey would feed Brand with a beautiful pass as she would bury it past Leveille to give the Pride the 2-0 lead heading into the second period. For the shots, the Pride would get 18 shots on goal for a total of 31 through 40 minutes while the Whitecaps had 16 shots in the second for a total of 30through 40 minutes.

     

    In the third period it would be Kaleigh Fratkin extending the Pride’s lead to three as she would score from the point in the first 73 seconds of the period. However, the Whitecaps would respond with a couple of solid chances to try to get on the board and cut the deficit, but it would be Selander standing tall for the Pride between the pipes. near the midway mark of the period Lexi Bender would be called for roughing, and while on the powerplay the Whitecaps would give up a few quality shorthanded chances to the Pride but Leveille was up to the task, and then Allie Thunstrom would get a spectacular breakaway opportunity, but Selander would rob her with an even more spectacular save to keep the Pride’s lead at three. Late in the period Thunstrom would get another opportunity and this time she would drill it home as she would score her third of the season and cut the Pride’s lead to two. With the hopes to mount a comeback the Whitecaps would pull Leveille for the extra attacker, but it would not amount to anything as the Boston Pride would defeat the Minnesota Whitecaps 3-1 and remain undefeated with a 4-0-0 record.

    NWHL Game Recap – 10/13/2019 – Buffalo Beauts v. Boston Pride

    Buffalo Beauts (1-1-0 2pts) v. Boston Pride (1-0-0 2pts)

     

    Game Recap:

    After falling short to the Boston Pride the night before the Buffalo Beauts look to get themselves back into the win column, but it would be the Pride striking early as McKenna Brand would be able to jam the puck past Beauts rookie goaltender Mariah Fuijimagari to make it 1-0 a minute forty-five seconds into the game. Following the goal the Pride would continue to surge against the Beauts, but the Beauts would create an offensive opportunity that would draw a powerplay opportunity. However, the Beauts would squander their opportunity when recently signed Pride forward Emily Fluke would be coming into the Beauts zone and Iveta Klimasova would take her down to end the Beauts powerplay early. Then once on the powerplay Kaleigh Fratkin would send an outlet pass to Brand who would streak in on Fujimagari to score her second of the game. However, the Beauts would respond as Brooke Stacey would drive to the net and a fight to get the puck past Lovisa Selander to get the Beauts back within one, but the McKenna Brand show would not be denied as Brand would score a little over a minute later to complete the hat trick. Then near the end of the period Fluke would tip a point shot from Jenna Rheault to score her first goal as a member of the Pride. At the end of the first period the Pride would be up 4 to 1.

     

    In the second period the Pride would continue their push as Alyssa Wohlfeiler would make a drive to the net and put the puck top shelf over Fujimagari to make it 5-1 for the Pride, and also spell the end of Fujimagari’s game as Beauts Head Coach Pete Perram would send in Kelsey Neumann to tend the Beauts net. Then a little under eight minutes later Emily Fluke would get her second of the game after tipping a shot past Neumann to grow the Pride’s lead to five. Megan Delay would take an unnecessary penalty for the Beauts shortly after, but the Beauts would be up to the task as they would kill the Pride’s powerplay opportunity. But the Pride would still strike once again after the powerplay was over as the how duo of Carlee Toews and Lexie Laing would strike again as Toews would score her first of the game and third of the weekend series to give the Pride the 7-1. However, a late penalty by Tori Sullivan would give the Beauts a late powerplay, but before the period would end while shorthanded Mary Parker would make a great defensive play to give herself a breakaway, but she would be robbed by Kelsey Neumann with a spectacular split legged save to keep the game 7-1 for the Pride heading into the second intermission.

     

    In the third period the Beauts would have thirty seconds left to their powerplay, but the Beauts would struggle to create any momentum with it. But the Beauts would get another opportunity when McKenna Brand took a tripping penalty, however, the Pride would kill this one off as well. The Pride would then take one more penalty as Lexi Bender would be called for body checking, but the Beauts uninspired play would cost them their powerplay as Kim Brown would be called for slashing. After the Pride’s powerplay had expired Jillian Dempsey would get through all of the defenders and Neumann to roof the puck to grow the lead to seven. After the goal both teams would trade penalties and result in some extended four on four hockey, and during the four on four the Pride would come close to extending their lead, but Neumann would find a way to keep the puck out of the net. At the end of the game McKenna Brand would try to get her fourth of the game, but she would be unable to do so before the final buzzer sounded. The Pride would sweep the weekend series two games to none, and will be back in action next weekend as they host the defending Isobel Cup Champion Minnesota Whitecaps.
