Boston Fleet Beat Defending Champion Frost 4-1 to Stay Perfect at 4-0

Elite goaltending plus a special-teams edge has Boston alone atop the PWHL heading into a Dec. 19 rematch in St. Paul.

Overview

  • Shay Maloney opened the scoring with her first of the season before captain Megan Keller added a goal and an assist late in the first period.
  • Abby Newhook recorded a power-play tally for her third goal, and Theresa Schafzahl added her first of the year on another advantage in the third.
  • Rookie defender Haley Winn notched multiple assists as Boston’s revamped mix of veterans and newcomers drove the offense.
  • Aerin Frankel backstopped the win in another poised outing in net, continuing a start that includes two earlier shutouts and only two goals allowed in four games.
  • Boston next visits New York on Dec. 17, then travels to St. Paul for a Dec. 19 rematch with Minnesota, the league’s two-time defending champion.
