OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — From start to finish, Emerance Maschmeyer was Ottawa’s best player making 35 saves in a 4-0 win over Minnesota on Saturday night. Captain Brianne Jenner registered a hat trick, while Ashton Bell scored the other goal for Ottawa (8-0-6-6). Nicole Hensley made 18 saves for Minnesota (8-4-3-6), which had won all four previous games against Ottawa. The win allowed Ottawa to take a two-point lead over Boston for the fourth and final playoff spot making Wednesday’s matchup between the two that much more critical. Minnesota’s best chance to get back in the game came early in the third when they had a 24-second, two-player advantage, but were unable to capitalize on it or the ensuing power play. Jenner made it rain hats scoring her third at 15:39 of the third period. A solid second period allowed Ottawa to extend its lead to 3-0. |
