The Frost flipped the script in the third period and overtime Wednesday in Toronto.
While Minnesota took a 2-0 lead in the contest, the ice was tilted in Toronto’s direction for the first two periods.
The Sceptres held a heavy advantage in shots on goal.
But it was all Minnesota late — until it wasn’t.
Tied 2-2 entering the third period, the Frost fired 15 shots on goal to Toronto’s four in the frame to no avail. But Minnesota again controlled play in overtime, only to have a giveaway result in a breakaway.
Renata Fast beat Maddie Rooney with just 3.7 seconds left on the clock to give the Sceptres the 3-2 overtime victory.
“I had no idea (how much time was left),” Fast said in the on-ice, television interview. “When I turned and looked at the clock, I was shocked at the time. … I had no idea.”
Minnesota bested Toronto in a shootout in St. Paul just two weeks ago.Sophie Jaques scored just 83 seconds into the affair to put the Frost up 1-0, and then assisted on Minnesota’s second tally, a goal from Brooke McQuigge to make it 2-0 in a rematch of last year’s title round.
But Toronto stormed back with a pair of goals in a two-minute span later in the second period — the first from Hannah Miller and the second from Daryl Watts to make it 2-2.
But that’s where the score stood until late in the extra session, and Sceptres goalie Raygan Kirk continued to turn away one Frost opportunity after another en route to her 27-save performance.
Rooney had 19 saves in the loss. The Frost went 0 for 2 on the power play.
While the Frost picked up a point Tuesday, they’ve now lost three of their past five contests, with just one regulation win in that span.
Even amid the struggles, Minnesota remains comfortably in second place in the PWHL standings. The Frost play in Ottawa on Thursday.
