In a thrilling finish to the Professional Women's Hockey League Takeover Tour stop in Edmonton's Rogers Place, Taylor Heise scored the game-winning goal in overtime, propelling the Minnesota Frost to a 2-1 victory over the Vancouver Goldeneyes. Heise's powerful shot from the left faceoff circle found its way just under the crossbar, securing the win and keeping Vancouver winless on the road. The match was marked by a slow start, with both teams struggling to find their footing in the first three minutes. However, Abby Hustler quickly got Minnesota on the board, scoring just 26 seconds after Vancouver's Gabby Rosenthal drew a delay of game penalty. The Goldeneyes responded with a backhanded goal from Izzy Daniel, but the Frost's Maddie Rooney made 27 saves to keep her team ahead. Vancouver had a prime opportunity to take the lead with a power play in the third period, but against one of the league's worst penalty-killing teams, they were unable to capitalize. The Takeover Tour, which features 16 neutral-site regular-season games, has brought excitement to fans across the league. The next stop for the Goldeneyes is a visit to New York on Wednesday, while the Frost head to Toronto on Tuesday.
