    Minnesota Whitecaps (1-1-1 3pts) v. Boston Pride (4-0-0 8pts)

     

    Game Recap:

    In the second game of their back to back weekend series the Minnesota Whitecaps look to bounce back against the Boston Pride, but the Whitecaps would not do themselves any favors as they would take three consecutive penalties that would cause the Whitecaps to go down two women at one point. However, the Pride would not be able to capitalize on any of their three powerplay opportunities, especially with the extended 5 on 3 chance, but they would strike a little later as they would get on the board first with McKenna Brand’s sixth of the season on a beautiful tic tac toe play with Christina Putigna. Then Tori Sullivan would score her second of the season to give the Pride the 2-0 lead. The Pride would take a late penalty, but the Whitecaps would not be able to capitalize on their lone opportunity.

     

    In the second period the Whitecaps would get an early powerplay opportunity to when Christina Putigna would be called for high sticking, but were unable to capitalize on the opportunity. However, they would get on the board with a Sydney Baldwin goal to cut the Pride’s lead to one. But Jonna Curtis would take an ill advised tripping penalty, and with this powerplay opportunity the Pride would get on the board with a Lexie Laing marker. both teams would continue to generate chances, but the goaltending of Lovisa Selander of the Pride and Amanda Leveille of the Whitecaps would keep this a 3-1 Pride lead heading into the second intermission.

     

    In the third period the Whitecaps would get another early powerplay opportunity to start a period, and this time they would capitalize as Stephanie Anderson would score her first career NWHL goal to cut the Pride’s lead to one once again. However, that would not deter the Pride as they would strike 90 seconds later as Mary Parker would score her first goal of the season to regain the two goal lead. Then Christina Putigna would knock in the loose puck after a hard Jillian Dempsey drive to secure the Pride a 5-2 victory. Both Selander and Leveille would put up strong perfomances again as they faced a combined 84 shots.

    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.

    Metropolitan Riveters (0-1-0 0pts) v. Minnesota Whitecaps (0-0-0 0pts)

     

    Game Recap:

    After raising their Isobel Cup Banner the Minnesota Whitecaps went right to work against the visiting Metropolitan Riveters as Jonna Curtis would throw a centering pass in front of the net, but it would deflect off of a Riveters and through the legs of goaltender Sam Walther to give the Whitecaps the 1-0 lead 49 seconds into the game. However, the Riveters would respond as Kate Leary would take advantage of a loose puck in the crease and would bank it into the net past Amanda Leveille to to tie the game at one a piece. The Riveters would not stop there as Cailey Hutchison would feed Rebecca Morse in the slot area and Morse would get the puck past a sprawling Leveille to give the Riveters the 2-1 lead, but the Whitecaps would respond as Jonna Curtis would get a bouncer past Walther to tie the game up at two a piece and her second of the game. Then on a 5 on 3 advantage for the Whitecaps Allie Thunstrom would get the puck past Walther to give the Whitecaps the 3-2 lead going into the first intermission.

     

    In the second period the Whitecaps would respond 57 seconds into the period while shorthanded as Nicole Schammel would score her first career NWHL goal to make it 4-2. Then while playing 4 on 4 Meaghan Lorence would score her first of the season off of a rebound to give the Whitecaps a 5-2 lead. Lorence would strike again, this time while shorthanded to give the Whitecaps the 6-2 lead and would end Sam Walther’s night as the Riveters head coach Ivo Mocek would have no choice but to pull Walther and put in Dana DeMartino. The Whitecaps would not slow down though while on the powerplay Jonna Curtis would net her third of the game to complete the hat trick and give the Whitecaps the 7-2 lead.

     

    In the third period Jonna Curtis would be at it again as she would tuck the puck past an already down Dana DeMartino to score her fourth goal of the game and widen the Whitecaps lead to six. Then later in the period Sydney Baldwin would score her first of the season with a beautiful rip from the faceoff circle to make it 9-2 Whitecaps. After a late rush by the Riveters the Whitecaps would hold their ground and keep the Riveters off the board to secure the 9-2 victory to open their 2019-20 season.
