TORONTO (May 7, 2025) – Julia Gosling scored twice in her playoff debut, leading Toronto to a 3-2 win over Minnesota in Game 1 of the PWHL Playoffs, presented by SharkNinja, on Wednesday night at Coca-Cola Coliseum. The rookie struck twice in the second period, just 1:55 apart, including a power play goal that stretched Toronto’s lead to 3-0. Captain Blayre Turnbull opened the scoring at 11:59 of the first period to give Toronto a 1-0 advantage and the Sceptres carried that lead into the intermission, outshooting Minnesota 12-6 in the opening frame. Gosling’s pair of second-period goals gave Toronto control before Minnesota began to chip away. Rookie Britta Curl- Salemme got the visitors on the board at 13:56 of the second to make it 3-1, and Minnesota carried momentum into the third after killing off a five-minute major penalty late in the period. Katy Knoll scored at 2:33 into the third period to pull Minnesota within one, but Toronto held firm the rest of the way to preserve the victory. Kristen Campbell made 24 saves for the Sceptres, while Nicole Hensley turned aside 34 shots for the Frost.

Game 2 of the best-of-five series is set for Friday at 7 p.m. at Coca-Cola Coliseum.
