Before the puck dropped, the Minnesota Frost were recognized for their inaugural season championship​ with a presentation of the Walter Cup and a banner raised into the rafters of the Xcel Energy Center to permanently remember their championship.

Minnesota’s No. 1 overall draft pick last season, former Gopher Taylor Heise, came up big through the team’s playoff run last year. On Sunday, it was this year’s top draft pick, forward Sarah Fillier out of Princeton, who set up Carpenter for a pretty one-timer — the Sirens’ third-period go-ahead goal with 15 minutes left.

Despite a strong first period that looked to be in their control, the Minnesota Frost lost momentum and lost in overtime to the Sirens.
