    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.

    Game Recap – 2/18/2019 – Boston Pride vs. Metropolitan Riveters

    Boston Pride (9-4-0 18pts) v. Metropolitan Riveters (3-10-0 6pts)

     

    Game Recap:

    The Boston Pride and the Metropolitan Riveters face off for a President’s Day matinee, which is also their makeup game from January 20th when it was postponed due to a snow storm, and it would be the Pride to strike early as Mary Parker would knock in a rebound from a Kaleigh Fratkin point shot three minutes into the game. The Pride would keep on pushing the game in their favor as McKenna Brand would score on the wraparound to give the Pride a 2-0 lead. The Riveters would generate some offense, but it has been all Boston so far. Then to add on to their lead, Czech forward Denisa Krizova would score her fourth of the season to give the Pride a 3-0 lead.

     

    In what would be considered an “even” back and forth period, it would be the Pride who would be dominant over the Riveters. Katie Burt stood on her head making miraculous save after save, and then in the minutes of the second period the Riveters would take a bench minor for too many women on the ice to which the Pride made them pay for quickly as Gigi Marvin would score seconds into the powerplay, and then 23 seconds later score her second of the game giving the Pride a 5-0 lead over the Riveters.

     

    To start the third period, the Riveters would switch their goalie as Maria Sorokina would come in to replace Kimberly Sass, but it would not matter as less than three minutes into the third period Mary Parker would score her second of the game from a tight angle. Then it would be Rockville, MD native Haley Skarupa getting feed a pass in the slot and she would just skate in unopposed to make it 7-0 for the Pride with her 5th of the season. The Pride would not let up however as Jillian Dempsey would score an NWHL record 34th career goal as the Pride would go up 8-0. The Riveters would end the Katie Burt’s shutout bid as Amanda Kessel would not quit as she would score her second goal of the season to get the Riveters on the board.
