Poulin's Heroics Send Montreal to Walter Cup

The Montreal Victoire has clinched a spot in the PWHL's Walter Cup Finals following a hard-fought 2-1 victory over the Minnesota Frost on Tuesday. This decisive Game 5 win came after a 24-hour postponement due to a team illness. Despite a strong initial push from Minnesota, Montreal's goaltender Ann-Renée Desbiens delivered a standout performance, making 25 saves. Catherine Dubois opened the scoring for Montreal in the first period. Minnesota managed to tie the game in the second period, but Marie-Philip Poulin netted the game-winner in the third, sealing the series for the Victoire. The team will now compete against the Ottawa Charge for the Walter Cup championship. This marks the end of the season for the Minnesota Frost, who were aiming for a third consecutive league championship.
