TORONTO – Kendall Coyne Schofield scored two goals and assisted on another as the Frost skated past the Toronto Sceptres 5-1 on Tuesday night.
Nicole Hensley picked up the victory with 31 saves, and Taylor Heise had three assists for the Frost.
The game drew 8,318 to Coca-Cola Coliseum.
Former Wisconsin star Daryl Watts gave Toronto a 1-0 lead five minutes into the game, but the Frost rallied with first-period goals from Katy Knoll and Britta Curl-Salemme to go ahead 2-1 by the 13-minute mark.
Curl-Salemme put Minnesota ahead at 12:59. With one skate behind the goal line, some feet away from the end boards, Curl-Salemme fired it in off goalie Elaine Chuli’s shoulder after Chuli seemed to have to duck her head to not get hit by the shot.
Curl-Salemme leads the league in scoring with 10 points and has a league-high seven assists.
Grace Zumwinkle’s power-play goal made it 3-1 in the second period.
Coyne Schofield made it a three-goal game with 4.4 seconds left in the second when her low backhand shot trickled in five-hole on Chuli, who was replaced by Raygan Kirk after the period.
