ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Hannah Brandt scored with three seconds remaining in the third period and Boston kept its playoff hopes alive with a 2-1 victory over Minnesota in Professional Women’s Hockey League action on Saturday.
Brandt’s fourth goal of the season for Boston (7-4-3-9, 32 points) came with assists from Hilary Knight — her fourth — and Sidney Morin — her third. Boston trailed 1-0 entering the final period before rallying to pull even with Ottawa for the final playoff berth. Montreal beat Ottawa 2-0 on Saturday to move into first place. Montreal and Toronto have already clinched spots in the four-team postseason. New York has been eliminated.
Minnesota (8-4-3-7, 35 points) would have clinched a playoff spot with a victory or if it had earned a point by making it to overtime before losing.
Neither team found the net until 1:10 remained in the second period when Kelly Pannek scored for a fourth time this season. Kendall Coyne Schofield picked up her 10th assist on the goal and Michela Cava notched her third.
