The PWHL assessed Minnesota Frost forward Britta Curl-Salemme a one-game suspension for an illegal check to the head of Toronto defenseman Renata Fast in Game 1 of their semifinal playoff series.

Lee Stecklein had two goals and an assist to help the Minnesota Frost beat the Toronto Sceptres 5-3 in Game 2 of their first-round playoff series.

It would be great for Toronto if Spooner entered the 2025 playoffs in MVP form. But if she’s not, and she’s just fine, the Sceptres have proven that it’s not a death knell for them. Not the way it was last year.
