The PWHL assessed Minnesota Frost forward Britta Curl-Salemme a one-game suspension for an illegal check to the head of Toronto defenseman Renata Fast in Game 1 of their semifinal playoff series.

The Frost — who had to win the final two games of the regular season on the road just to qualify for the playoffs — lost 3-2 in Game 1 in Toronto on Wednesday. They pulled even in the best-of-five series on Friday in Toronto against the Sceptres with a 5-3 win, scoring twice in the third period.

Toronto bounced back with goals from Savannah Harmon and Allie Munroe just 27 seconds apart late in the second period, and they went to the third tied. The winning goal was scored by Sophie Jaques at 13:47 of the period, with Mellissa Channell-Watkins adding a power play goal at 18:49 to seal the deal.
