Montréal Victoire just one win away from first trip to Walter Cup Final

The GIST: And just like that, one team is one win away from clinching their spot in the PWHL Finals. Scroll on for all the puck party details.

💪 No. 1 seed Montréal Victoire top No. 3 Minnesota Frost, take 2-1 series lead: Things got physical in St. Paul, but the Victoire held tight to score two second-period goals and top the Frost 2–1, putting them just one dub from their first trip to the Walter Cup Final. Oh, and that win may be mere hours away: Puck drops on Game 4 tonight at 8:30 p.m. ET.

👀 But first, the No. 2 Boston Fleet vs. No. 4 Ottawa Charge series (tied 1-1) resumes: After nearly a week off, the Fleet and Charge return to the ice tonight at 7 p.m. ET for Game 3. Charge goaltender Gwyneth Philips was the difference-maker in Game 2, but now that Boston defender Megan Keller’s first playoff goal is behind her, there’s likely more to come. She’s pretty clutch.

• What’s more, these gals also have a quick turnaround ahead, with Game 4 slated for Sunday at 3 p.m. ET. ’Tis the season to do that hockey.

☝️One more thing: On Wednesday, the league confirmed that PWHL Detroit is the first of up to four franchises that will debut in the 2027 season. Detroit will play their home games at Little Caesars Arena, a 19,515 person venue that they’ll share with the NHL’s Detroit Red Wings and NBA’s Detroit Pistons. Vroom vroom.
