Kendall Coyne Schofield scores OT winner as Frost halt Sceptres' home win streak




Minnesota Frost captain Kendall Coyne Schofield chipped in the overtime winner to defeat the Toronto Sceptres 2-1 in a defensive tussle on Sunday.

Before Toronto goalie Kristen Campbell could cover up, Coyne Schofield found a loose puck in a goalmouth scramble to score with 2:21 remaining in the extra period before 8,510 at Toronto's Coca-Cola Coliseum.

The Frost (7-5-4-7) victory ended a five-game home win streak for the Sceptres (9-2-5-7) as they lost for only the second time in nine Professional Women's Hockey League outings.

Minnesota outshot Toronto 27-16. Nicole Hensley made 15 saves for the win.

Kendall Coyne Schofield scores the overtime winner as the Frost beat the Sceptres

Minnesota Frost captain Kendall Coyne Schofield scored her 10th of the season 2:39 into overtime as Minnesota downed the Toronto Sceptres 2-1.

Brooke McQuigge scored first for the Frost early, while defender Renata Fast pulled the Sceptres even at 1-1 late in the second period.

McQuigge, of nearby Bowmanville, Ont., supplied the visitors with a 1-0 advantage 5:26 into the first period.

Her accurate shot from the slot came after Toronto's Megan Carter and captain Blayre Turnbull failed on their clearing attempts.

Fast tied the game with 65 seconds remaining in the second period, firing a shot through traffic after a pass from Daryl Watts.

Sceptres: Fast leads all PWHL defenders with five goals and 15 points in 23 games.
