Britta Curl-Salemme tied it with 16 seconds left and scored at 16:24 of overtime to give the defending champion Minnesota Frost a 2-1 victory over the Ottawa Charge on Thursday night, evening the PWHL championship series at a game apiece.

Ottawa's rise to a team that’s two wins away from winning the Walter Cup began with a trade deadline that many viewed as a head-scratcher.

The game itself was low-scoring, thanks to the play of Charge netminder Gwyneth Philips and Frost goaltender Nicole Hensley. Goals from Ottawa’s Rebecca Leslie and Minnesota’s Klara Hymlarova were all either side could muster up in regulation.
